If you long for the lake or the ocean, why not consider a water garden in your back yard? Imagine the view and sounds of a waterfall, a meandering creek, fish swimming in the water and beautiful plants without having to leave town. A space like this in your own backyard can become a refuge at the end of a busy day, a place to relax and a great place for kids to play and enjoy nature.

Smaller yards might not have enough space for a natural water garden, so a small fountain might be a great alternative. For more traditional landscapes, a formal fountain might be a great choice, combining art with the water element in your garden. Please see examples of some Water Features to give you an idea of all the possibilities.
