Top Water Feature Trends for Summer

Summer is in full swing, and there is no better time to beautify your Baltimore home with a unique water feature! Water features have been popular for decades now, but the styles and ways in which they are incorporated into the landscape are always changing. The professionals at Lehnhoff’s Landscaping keep up to date on all of the latest water feature trends and are here to help you decide which would be the best choice for you and your home!

Trend #1: Aqua gardens

Creating a pond in your backyard means creating a peaceful, beautiful spot to relax. But it also means additional opportunities for unique landscaping! Instead of traditional flowers and shrubs, you can enhance the perimeter and interior of your pond with aquatic plant life, reeds, bushes, and blossoms. And you don’t have to just stick to flora; fauna gets a chance to shine when you introduce koi and other fish to your backyard pond area.

Trend #2: Highlighted waterfalls

A waterfall of any size is an impressive water feature to include in your backyard; it brings just the right among of drama to your landscape. One way to enhance the drama is by creating a waterfall with an outdoor lighting system incorporated with it. When it’s dark out, you can still see and show off your beautiful waterfall when it is hit by the lights.

Trend #3: Minimalist fountains

While the traditional fountains you’ll see on many historic properties are large and ornate, you don’t have to mimic this style to get the same benefits of a fountain. Minimalist fountains combine quality construction without all of the flourish of a more complex style, and they are particularly well suited to more modern-styled homes and to gardens with a simple, Zen-like feel to them.

Adding a water feature to your home doesn’t just mean that you’re adding something that your family can enjoy for years to come; it also means that you are adding property value and curb appeal to your house!
