Want to improve your outdoor living area? Add an outdoor fountain to it. Outdoor water fountains provide a number of benefits. Spending some time by a fountain after work every day is a great way to relieve stress and anxiety. Outdoor fountains in Scottsdale, AZ produce negative ions and can help reduce pollution particles that are up to five feet above the ground by up to 97 percent.
Water fountains come in a range of designs and styles. When choosing a waterfall, make sure it blends with your landscape. To help choose the right outdoor fountain for your outdoor living area, we have compiled a list of some popular outdoor fountain styles and designs. Take a look.
Tiered Fountains
Tiered fountains are known for their elegant design. Many tiered fountains feature elaborate carvings or moldings. A tiered fountain can have two or three tiers. The stacked, multi-level platforms of a tiered fountain can help create the perfect focal point for your setting. A tiered fountain can be on a pedestal. You can install a basin around your fountain. The water in a tiered fountain is circulated to the top of it and then cascades down, eventually reaching the bottom of the reservoir.
Pedestal Fountains
A pedestal fountain is perfect for a small, intimate patio. If placed strategically, a pedestal fountain can help create a serene and relaxing environment and make a strong visual statement.
Wall Fountains
As the name implies, a wall fountain is mounted onto a wall. Wall fountains can also be freestanding. A freestanding wall fountain is usually quite large. It has a basin that is placed on the ground. Both types of wall fountains require a pump, spout, internal piping and tubing. Instead of shooting or spraying water, a wall fountain sends water in a cascade down the front surface. Wall fountains are quite compact and therefore, take up less space.
Disappearing Fountains
Also known as pondless fountains, disappearing fountains have a reservoir which is concealed beneath the ground. You can place a disappearing fountain near your patio or stone path. Because they don’t have an open pond or reservoir, disappearing fountains do not pose drowning risks for tiny tots, and hence are the ideal choice for homeowners with kids.
They require less space and also use less water than many other types of waterfalls as the water in their underground reservoir does not evaporate. Since debris cannot enter their reservoir, disappearing fountains are easier to maintain.
Self-contained Fountain
A self-contained fountain has a bowl at the bottom. It catches the water that cascades from the upper tiers and travels back up the fountain. Self-contained fountains have their own water reservoir and do not need to be placed close to a water source, hence the name.
