Water in the Landscape
Swimming Pool, Pond, Stream or Fountain
Water in the landscape provides an opportunity for recreation, respite and contemplation. Water is significant in our relationship to the world around us. A water feature or swimming pool can be a focal element in an outdoor room, the central element in the landscape, or a destination unto itself.
Water features can:
- create sounds for soothing or screening noise.
- moderate microclimates.
- add aquatic flora and fauna to the landscape.
- reflect the surrounding landscape and sky.
- provide continuous movement in the landscape.
- bring together family and friends.
Adding a water feature to your landscape (whether large or small) instills one of the essential elements of life into the spirit of your outdoor spaces.
