Water gardens are decorative gardens that feature water as the central element. They typically include ponds, fountains, or other water features, and they are designed to create a peaceful, natural environment.
At Aquatic Lifestyles, LLC, we design and create exceptional water gardens tailored to the unique needs and visions of our clients. If you are interested in a water garden, we want to provide some basic information about them to make sure you feel confident going into this project.
While every water garden is different, some of the key features that most of them include are:
- A pond or a pool – This is the core of most water gardens, and it may be either natural or manmade.
- Aquatic plants – Common examples of aquatic plants found in water gardens include water lilies, lotus, cattails, and submerged oxygenators.
- Movement features – In most cases, waterfalls or fountains are used to add sound, movement, and aeration.
- Lighting – The lighting found in water gardens can be submersible or line the perimeter to make the garden beautiful at night.
Water gardens also offer many notable benefits for any outdoor space. For example, they create a relaxing and serene space. They also support biodiversity by attracting beneficial wildlife and help cool down the surrounding area.
