Bringing in a Water Feature with a Tiered Outdoor Fountain

There is nothing like listening to the soft sound of water while enjoying an evening outdoors. Whether it is a trickle of water or a more robust running sound like a small creek - there is just something about a water feature in your yard that invites you to sit for awhile.

I have a huge love of serenity-bringing tiered outdoor fountains - and actually I have one in my backyard for adding that soft ambiance while sitting outdoors. It is something that we turn on and enjoy in the evenings while relaxing outdoors and even from inside the house, you can hear the soft trickling of the water through the windows.

If you are revamping a garden area or just considering adding a new element to your garden or patio, I thought I would share a few of my favorite fountains for adding an abundance of charm to your backyard this season and for years to come.

Stone Beauty

The Browning Three-Tier Fountain is a perfect example of a traditional tiered outdoor fountain. Try placing it in a corner of a patio or terrace - or let it take center stage in either in the front or back of your house!

Wall Fountain Love

A lovely wall fountain is a perfect piece to bring big charm into a small garden space. They are easy to tuck in against the house or a fence and create a water feature to enjoy. I love the classic style of this wall fountain featuring a lion's head - the lion is a classic motif seen in outdoor fountains. 

Go Big

For big impact - go big. I am in love with over-sized fountains that really make a statement with their sheer size like this Montreux Fountain that is 36" wide.

Tuck it In

For a fountain that is easy to tuck right into a spot in your flower beds, or maybe to welcome guests as they make their way to the front door - a smaller scale fountain that is big on style is perfect. I love this Patella Three-Tier Fountain and the huge amount of details it has in the pineapple finial.

Whatever size or style of the one that catches your eye - adding a water feature with a tiered outdoor fountain is a perfect way to add an abundance of charm and style and ambiance to your yard. Do you have a favorite?
