Thinking of adding a water feature to my garden but I’m torn between a small pond or a fountain. I’m looking for something low maintenance and relaxing. Does anyone have either? How hard is it to maintain long term? I’d love your insights before I commit.
My partner and I had the same debate — pond vs. fountain — and after browsing local options, we leaned toward a fountain setup. We came across https://oakshs.ca/water-features/ and really liked their portfolio. They helped us pick a design that’s peaceful but compact, and it’s surprisingly easy to maintain. It runs on a recirculating pump, and we only top it off occasionally during dry spells. The sound of flowing water totally changed the vibe of the garden — it’s now our favorite space for morning coffee. There’s even an option for lighting that creates a really cozy feel at night. Definitely worth considering if you want a calm, low-effort feature.
