The Beauty of Simple Garden Decor: The Wall fountain

Any number of materials can be utilized to make garden wall features, but stone and metal are the most practical. The most suitable material for your fountain depends completely on the design you choose. The best designs for your garden wall fountain are those which are handmade, simple to put up and not too heavy to hang. Be sure that your fountain is manageable as far as maintenance is concerned. While there may be some cases in which the setup needs a bit more care, generally the majority require a minimal amount of work to install since the only two parts which require scrutiny are the re-circulating pump and the hanging parts. You can rest assured your garden can be easily enlivened by putting in this type of fountain.
Where did Landscape Fountains Originate from?

Pure practicality was the original purpose of fountains. Residents of cities, townships and small towns utilized them as a source of drinking water and a place to wash, which meant that fountains had to be connected to nearby aqueduct or spring. Up until the nineteenth, fountains had to be more elevated and closer to a water supply, including aqueducts and reservoirs, in order to benefit from gravity which fed the fountains. Designers thought of fountains as wonderful additions to a living space, however, the fountains also served to provide clean water and celebrate the artist responsible for creating it. The main components used by the Romans to build their fountains were bronze or stone masks, mostly illustrating animals or heroes. During the Middle Ages, Muslim and Moorish garden planners incorporated fountains to create mini depictions of the gardens of paradise. The fountains seen in the Gardens of Versailles were supposed to show the power over nature held by King Louis XIV of France. The Romans of the 17th and 18th centuries manufactured baroque decorative fountains to exalt the Popes who commissioned them as well as to mark the location where the restored Roman aqueducts entered the city.
The end of the 19th century saw the increase in usage of indoor plumbing to provide drinking water, so urban fountains were relegated to strictly decorative elements. Fountains using mechanical pumps instead of gravity enabled fountains to provide recycled water into living spaces as well as create special water effects.
Modern-day fountains function mostly as decoration for open spaces, to honor individuals or events, and enhance entertainment and recreational gatherings.

Also referred to as a floor fountain, a stand-alone wall fountain is normally rather large, and its basin is installed on the ground.
A stand-alone water feature can either be integrated onto a wall already in existence or built into a wall under construction. The look of your landscape will seem more cohesive instead of disjointed when you install this style of water feature.
