3 Water Features to Add to Your Lawn This Spring

Every homeowner dreams of a backyard oasis and a well-manicured lawn. For some, this looks like a freshly cut lawn, while others dream of exotic water features. At The Southern Landscape Group, we do it all! We love helping our clients with the backyard of their dreams and are capable of designing any water feature you can imagine. Here are some of our favorites for homeowners to try this spring.

1. Garden Creek

Depending on the layout of your lawn, a garden creek can make the perfect water feature. You can make this bubbling backyard brook as long or as short as you'd like. With some carefully placed pavers, rocks, and shade trees, you can be well on your way to enjoying the calming sound of a trickling creek. Even the backyard birds and wildlife will enjoy your new water feature. Still, with our expert lawn care, we can ensure that pests, like mosquitos, don't use your new lawn feature as their new breeding grounds.

2. Koi Pond

A koi pond is a classic addition to any backyard. There's nothing like an outdoor aquarium to escape to after a long hard day. The beauty of a koi pond is that it can be built to any specifications, and nearly every feature about your pond is customizable. It's a quick and easy way to add a nice water feature to your backyard, and you'll love spending hours watching the fish swim. Nevertheless, a koi pond does require some regular maintenance and cleaning, so be prepared for a little upkeep.

3. Water Wall

Do you have a little corner of your backyard that you want to highlight but aren't sure what to do with? Then you're in luck! A water wall is a great accent to any backyard. Not only does this water wall attract your guests, but it can also be a peaceful place to enjoy your morning coffee or catch some afternoon sun. A water wall can also create shade, divide a space, and add a little romance to your landscaping.
