How to attract birds using water features & fountains

How to attract birds to your landscape using a fountain or water feature. Birds are attracted to water not just for drinking, Birds just like us love bathing and splashing in water. When you add a fountain or water feature to your landscape your garden will become the most popular spot in the neighborhood. The sound of running water will become a beacon to our feathered friends. We have found that birds will be attracted to any addition of water but if the water is running, the sound will attract more birds. The most popular bird fountains are the ones with multiple levels and the ones with a shallow bowl at the top for bathing. The multiple level bird fountains give the birds a variety of spots to land and enjoy their own private spot without having to share. Our stacked boulder fountains are the perfect choice to attract birds. Another great choice is the boulders with the shallow birdbath bowl at the top. The water is the perfect depth for birds looking for a place to take a bath. Even the jar fountains will attract birds, they will land on the edge of the jar to drink, some of the pottery jars have a shallow bowl in the top just for the birds. Remember to add a heater to your bird fountain so you can keep it running in the winter. Birds need water in the winter too!
Another great thing about our bird bath fountains is the low maintenance, the water is always running bringing fresh water from the basin below. That makes our bird water features self cleaning and self filling.

Things to consider when purchasing a fire pit

Things to consider when looking to purchase a fire pit. One of the most important and the most overlooked things to consider is will you be feeling any warmth from your fire pit? We find that most fire pits are too tall to actually feel any heat when you are sitting beside them in a chair. You'll see most people standing over the fire pit because when sitting the fire pit is just too tall. Another helpful tip is to choose the right fire pit to match the overall theme of your landscape. You want the fire pit to look inviting and to blend in as part of your garden.
How many people are you going to be entertaining? Make sure the fire pit is large enough so no one is left out in the cold. Your Fire Pit is always going to be a place of gathering so make sure to give plenty of space to move around. Your guest will gravitate to the fire pit area. 
We have many different choices when choosing a fire pit. Rock Fire Pits, Boulder Fire Pits, Bowl Fire Pits and fire pits you will see no where else. 
Fire pits are a wonderful addition to your landscape, they provide warmth and a soft glow to brighten up a dull fall/winter day.

How to add lighting to your outdoor fountain or water feature

How to use lighting to accent your fountain or water feature

How to use lighting to accent your fountain or water feature
Adding lighting to your water feature is the single most important accessory you can add to accent the beauty of you outdoor garden fountain. It's important to use waterproof light fixtures as regular landscape lighting is not made to be placed in an area that regularly stays wet or is placed directly onto a water feature. When choosing your lighting choice make sure to ask yourself how bright do you want the lights to be? Too bright and it will wash out the entire feature, too dim and you will not be able to see what it is you are lighting. We prefer a soft light that draws the eye without blinding and overwhelming your senses. Also do you want your garden fountain lighted on all sides or just one or two sides. Use the light to accent the flow of water on your garden fountain. An outdoor fountain that blends into the landscape during the day will take center stage at night by adding the correct outdoor fountain accent lighting. The photo's below show how the darker it gets the more your outdoor water feature stands out.

Installing Custom Basalt Columns
This is one of our largest fountains, the Cornerstone Basalt. We installed this for one of our customers at Diamond Caverns in Kentucky. The customer previously had the diamond shaped pool so we decided to do this on a disappearing system. The customer send us pictures and dimensions so that would could determine what was needed for this project. You can see that we had to custom fit each piece. We also installed our lighting kit and plume lights in each of the columns. We had the fountain shipped on two pallets to the location and then scheduled an installation date with the customer. This took us less than a full day to complete. If you are interested in using our products for a custom project, please give us a call.

Being Creative With Your Fountain Fire Pit Designs

These fantastic photos were sent in by our customers. Notice the very creative ways that they landscaped around each fountain and the placement in their garden. Different elements were used around each fountain to accent the overall look and make each fountain the centerpiece of the landscape. Really slow down and study these photos. Notice the shape of the pebble area outside of the fountain, square flagstone pavers that perfectly match the square shape of the fountain. The dark back lighted metal back drop, Boulders used to blend the basalt fountain into the landscape. I always say our customers are very talented. We love the photos and we try to share them on our web-site and facebook page.
