Outdoor Water Features Lookbook

One of the best ways to transform your outdoor living space into a tranquil oasis is with water features.

The sights and sounds of flowing water in cascading waterfalls, bubbling fountains, vibrant streams and tranquil ponds make for a relaxing experience that doesn’t have to end. All the while, these same water features attract birds and other wildlife that add to this ambiance.

With so many design options to explore, we’ve put together this guide to help you find the perfect outdoor water feature for your Northeast Ohio backyard.

Design Option #1:
Cascading Waterfalls

Imagine strolling through your garden while feeling the refreshing mist and listening to the gentle sounds of a cascading waterfall. Adding a well-designed cascading waterfall to your backyard can transform the space into a private sanctuary for birds and other native wildlife. You can opt for a cascading waterfall that flows into a pond, or a pondless waterfall as a lower maintenance option.

Design Option #2:
Water Fountains

Celebrate an intimate section of your garden with the bubbling sounds from a gently flowing fountain. Whether a focal point in your outdoor space or tucked among your plants as a hidden surprise, the flowing music of a fountain masks neighborhood noise — making your landscape even more peaceful. Water fountains can fit easily into patios and gardens in small backyards, be a dominant focal point in larger landscapes, or they can be incorporated into existing outdoor features.

Design Option #3:
Vibrant Streams

Streams invite water to flow through your landscape and have a bigger presence in the scope of your outdoor space. Think about the tranquility of a meandering stream that ripples through your garden landscape — talk about a good de-stressor. You can pair this outdoor water feature with a colorful koi fish pond or vibrant aquatic plants to breathe even more life (and color) into your backyard.

Design Option #4:
Garden & Koi Ponds

Adding a water pond into your landscape naturally makes the space more dynamic. You can place these water features even in the smallest of garden areas or incorporate them into large installations. From quiet, still ponds to more active, formal ponds, there are a variety of beautiful options available — all of which are an important source of water to backyard wildlife. Fish enthusiasts will appreciate koi ponds, from collecting them to caring for them.
