Water feature

4 years ago

Can you tell me more about this fountain? Where is the pump for service? What maintenance is involved? How do you know when it needs more water? Are there mosquito abatement issues?
It's really lovely.
Thanks,
Meg

Hello Meg. Glad to hear you like the water feature. It is pretty easy to maintain. The pump and reservoir (will need to be topped up every now and again as it is not connected to the mains water supply) are located underneath the pebbles which are held in place over a metal grid.

Do you have a water feature in your garden?

Yes we have inherited a leaky pond with a broken paving edge so thats a project soon to be started. Also we're building some decking and I'm considering extending the decking slats around two or three sides of the new pond. The garden is surrounded by unpainted breeze-block walls, so I'm desperate to get them painted but the weather is not on my side!

I love this colour but think that you won't notice the dark kitchen cabinets. To make your existing furniture stand out I think you need contrast. I think the earlier suggestion of orange is fun but to include the Brinjal I would paint the walls green and then add pops of the brinjal. Perhaps if you get some light picture frame add a border of brinjal to give them more presence. Alternatively hang inexpensive canvasses - I would choose three long thin ones and paint one and either wall paper in a similar colour or staple on fabric to add pattern.

Hi there, What is the globe feature in the middle? Is it a statuary or a fire bowl of some sorts? If it is a fire bowl, I would probably increase the paved circle area around it to be able to place some seating. If it is statuary, I would work on a nice planting scheme to go around the circled paving area. Planting around it would accentuate the circle shape (which seems to be a theme in the garden as you seem to have a circular lawn as well) as you would then have a kind of a circular border around it, which can be seen from a distance (due to the height of the plants). If you need any further help, I offer a range of online garden design services from sketches and planting plans only to garden plans with 3D visuals. I would be glad to help! Good luck with your project! Deborah The Rooted Concept Garden Designs
