WATER FEATURES

If you do just one thing to your outdoor space this summer, add a water feature. You’ll be so glad you did. Not only is the sight and sound of moving water soothing, it also makes a great noise screen – perfect if you’re on a busy road. And, through the process of evaporation, a water feature actually cools the air. Yes, please! Create your own fountain with a tall urn and a pump from the hardware store, or buy one ready-made.
