Solar powered fountains can instantly add that touch of elegance and beauty to any area of your home or landscape that you would like to spruce up. There are a variety of styles with these fountains and here are some helpful tips when you are looking to add one of these fountains to any area.
1. First, you need to identify the area of your home that you think would showcase the fountain the best. Make sure you keep an open mind because their might be an area that the fountain would look better in that you did not think of originally.
2. Second, make sure you look at the size ratio of the area. You do not want to have a solar fountain that is to large for the area that overpowers the space but you also do not want it to small that you will not see the water feature. Measure the height of the surrounding plants if there are any and decide if you would like the fountain to stand above the plants, be at the same level, or be below the plant height.
3. The third thing you will want to start to look at is the design and maybe even the color of the fountain. Its most likely more important to you to have the design that you are looking for. There are modern, classic, whimsical, stone, metal, and endless other designs. When trying to narrow down your search, look at your location and see what style fountain would fit the space the best. For example, a modern landscape would probably not want a whimsical fountain in the front unless that is the style you are into. Always, try to blend the fountain with the surrounding elements to not only add beauty but also style.
4. Some really nice ideas that might enhance the look of your fountain is to add some plants and flowers around the base of your solar powered fountain. All you need to do is add a few of your favorite color flowers and and maybe a couple green shrubs. Make sure that you do not get things that will require a lot of maintenance or that will continue to grow that that will cover the fountain. When looking at green shrubs, low lying ground cover evergreens always look wonderful and require very little care. If your fountain is large enough you could even place a little pad or a water flower in the bowl of the fountain for that added beauty as well.
5. Once you have selected the style solar fountain that you like the best, have set it up and it is running, all that is left to do is enjoy the soothing sound of the water and the special touch of style & beauty that has been added to your home.
An additional recommendation is to regularly clean the fountain and the pump so that it always runs at its best. As with anything else, the better you take care of your fountain the more enjoyment you will receive out of it.
