When the air becomes crisp and the days grow shorter, it’s the perfect time to get your home and garden ready for winter. Your outdoor fountain, that beautiful centerpiece of your yard, has provided the calming sound of trickling water all season long. But as temperatures drop, it’s easy to forget that outdoor fountains need a little bit of TLC to survive the colder months. Without proper winter preparation, freezing water can lead to cracks, broken pumps, or even permanent damage. Nobody wants to welcome spring with a hefty repair bill or the disappointment of a non-functioning fountain.
