Construction of water features are gaining momentum as people look for way's
to save water. People are tearing out large chunks of lawn and replacing them with
patio's walkways and yes, water features.
A water feature
uses less water then the same square footage of a lawn. Some people take advantage of design
allowing their water feature
to capture the
occasional rainfall. In fact a 1 inch rain event in a 500 sq ft. area will create 300 gallons
of water.
With this in
mind, water features are getting a lot of attention because you get all the beauty of a water
garden without the cost of watering and maintaining a lawn.
A water feature
adds beauty and they fit most anywhere. Landscaping with water
will complement any area of your property.
