Frequently Asked Questions
Essentially a water feature is a landscape element that uses water and other materials to add interest, beauty and natural elements to a garden. A quick browse of the internet will show you the wide range of water feature designs there are from large and ornate to compact and natural. Most water features and those that have running, spouting or bubbling water, including ponds, will require a pump to ensure the water is constantly moving and prevent it from stagnating.
For an extra luxury, you can also have a water feature in your swimming pool such as a waterfall, fountain or water wall. A swimming pool water feature can transform your pool and create a stunning contemporary look to your garden.
It’s easier to include a water feature to your pool during the building process as it can be more complicated to add plumbing and pipe work to an existing pool, adding to the overall cost. It’s important to make sure the swimming pool water feature design you choose blends into the overall aesthetic of your outdoor area while enhancing the look of your home.
The cost of swimming pool water feature varies greatly depending on the size and amount of work involved. We would usually add this to your landscaping or pool design or as part of an existing structure. It is best to chat to us about what you are after before we can provide a quote.
While water features and pumps need electricity (unless they’re solar) having a water feature won’t cause too much of a dent to your electricity bill. A more powerful pump may cost a little more to run, so make sure you use a pump that’s appropriate to the size of your water feature.
Turning the pump off and having it on a timer can limit the amount of electricity used and if you’re installing a swimming pool water feature, you may already have a pump installed for the pool.
Traffic noise from nearby roads can certainly be irritating. Countering the effect of traffic noise with other background or ‘white noise’ elements such as the running water from a water feature, can have a calming effect and help mitigate the sound of traffic.
Installing a waterfall, fountain or stream to your garden will detract attention from the traffic noise. A professional water feature builder will know the right amount and type of acoustic sound you need from your water feature to help cancel traffic noise and offer suggestions for design and construction to help minimise traffic noise.
With more people wanting a water feature in their garden, the variety of ready-made designs and custom water features is ever growing. Pick a water feature that’s sympathetic to your style of garden or swimming pool to achieve the best look.
Water feature designs include:
- Natural ponds – A popular choice that blends in with almost any landscape.
- Waterfall – Can be standalone or added to a pool or pond area for a natural look.
- Stream – Needs a larger amount of space and landscaping but can look stunning.
- Bird bath – A popular and economical choice to add a water feature to your home.
- Waterwall – Elegant and luxurious, water slowly falls down a wall face and is fed back up.
- Rain curtain – Contemporary design feature which creates a focal point for any pool or garden.
- Sconces – Often ‘heads’ pouring water they can add a traditional and timeless element to a back garden.
- Scuppers – Like a sconce but wider, delivering a flat volume of water from an upper level.
- Bubblers – Creating the impression of water welling up from underground they add visual interest and pleasant sound.
- Fountain – Modern or traditional, grand or simple, fountains are a popular standalone water feature.
