Nothing adds a serene touch to your backyard space quite like outdoor water features. Their unique aesthetic appeal adds beauty to your landscape, while the tranquil sounds of the water help relax the mind and mask other noises.

As we’ll showcase here, there are a variety of ways to incorporate outdoor water features into your Northeast Ohio landscape.

Reflective Wall

Some outdoor water features—like this simple example—can be designed to reflect their surroundings. As the reflection provides more depth, it will create the illusion of a bigger outdoor space.

Curved Waterfall

Want to make your spa even more inviting? Integrate a water feature into the design. The lights inside the spa further illuminate the space, creating a calm glow on its surface as well as in its surroundings.

Bubbling Rock

For homeowners that want a low-maintenance option, bubbling rock designs are a good choice. While the shape of the rock will determine how the water cascades, the overall format ensures the continuous circulation of water.
