A water feature can be an excellent addition to your outdoor space, particularly if you are looking to make a statement. When choosing large or small water features for your NZ home, it is important to consider a number of factors to make sure that you are making the right choice.
Join Ken Lomax Landscaping as we explore the factors to consider for your next water feature!
1. Size of Garden
Make sure that you take into account the size of your garden—this will ultimately affect the best shape and size of your water feature. Too big water features can overwhelm small gardens, while too small water features may not have any impact at all in larger landscapes, so it is crucial that you are able to balance the size of your garden and the size of your water feature.
2. Type
A number of different types of water features exist. From ponds to water fountains, you can choose from a variety of water features to adorn your garden. When selecting the right water feature, make sure to consider the style or theme that you are going for and whether it complements your garden’s aesthetic.
3. Height
High or low water feature? A low-level water feature can be seamlessly integrated next to planters and foliage, but a taller feature is definitely the go-to choice if you are looking to make it the centrepiece of your garden. Both can stun and amaze guests!
4. Maintenance
Once a water feature has been installed, you shouldn’t just leave it alone. It will likely require maintenance now and then, especially if you want it to last a long time. Keep in mind that any fish or plants that you add will require better water quality. We recommend avoiding placing your water feature near trees, particularly as falling leaves or branches can accumulate in the water.
