Having garden fountains added to your backyard garden is a great way to add special character to it. There are all sorts of fountains to get, from the love birds, to the dolphins, even the classic cupid fountains are still in style. I am sure you already have an idea of what kind of fountain you want, but you might be unsure as to how to make it your center piece. Discussed below are 2 critical things you must do to make sure your backyard fountain is the center of attention.
Have a path leading to it, or running right by it. Even adding a 2 person bench near it along the path will make sure that this is the center of your garden, allowing your fountain to stand out for all to see.
Why?
Because the path leading to it means that people have a clear view of where it is, and how to get there. If the path runs near it, especially with the bench, makes this the center of the garden, because of the clearing that is required for this set up to work.
It is easy to do, all you need is some stepping stones that make up the path, and then set them up evenly running through your garden, simple as that. Don’t make the stones too small though, or too big. If they are too small, it might be harder to see, if they are too big, it might attract away from the fountain instead of attracting towards it.
Making sure all flowers and plants that are placed around it are smaller than the basin at maturity. This is so it will give the towering effect, which is when something is placed in an area that is larger than everything else around it. This allows it to stand out more, and no matter where it is placed, will always seem to be the center of everything.
When placing your garden fountains inside your garden, using these 2 tips together will create a better and more focused atmosphere to enjoy. And simplest design is usually the best way to go, getting too elaborate in your layout might take away from the effect of the fountain itself. Just follow the guidelines I have laid out for you, and you will have transformed the mundane into something special, something that you will want to show off.
