Water Features

A Guide to Wall Water Features


Wall water features has the potential to turn a dull garden into a very interesting one. Even the smallest feature can really bring the garden to life. The sound of water running is also relaxing on a summer day.

Not only do they bring the garden to life aesthetically, but also literally. Water features are known to attract wildlife to the garden. Many of our most beloved birds are being pushed out of gardens, partly because of domestic cats, but also because the modern garden isn't entirely suited to wildlife. Installing wall water features can help bring them back to your garden.

Wall mounted water features are growing in popularity all the time. In urban environments, where gardens can be small, their compact size allows them to be used where a more conventional water feature may take up too much space. 

In these small gardens, it really gives the individual a way to use all of the available space in their garden, which leaves room to relax and carry out other activities.

They are also safer where children are concerned. With ponds and other conventional water features, it can often be unnerving when leaving children to play in the garden unsupervised. A wall mounted feature just gives you that peace of mind that they are safe to be left alone to play and enjoy their childhood. 

Installing one is also much less of a hassle than installing a pond. A pond can be very labour intensive to dig out and install. These water features often come pre-assembled, or in easily assembled kits with only a few components, so you do not have to be a master craftsman to install them yourself. 


These wall mounted water features can come in many different styles. Many of them mimic the designs of water features from across Renaissance Europe, including Florentine, Milanese and French design. There are also the more contemporary and unusual designs. Picking the right one for you depends on the type of look you are going for in your garden, and the type of plant-life you have. The Italian styles can look very striking in conjunction with blooming flowers of various colours, and give the garden a classical feel. 

A contemporary style often looks best when alongside modern landscaping. This can give the garden a very minimalist feel, which can make the garden seem much more spacious than it actually is. 

There are even some wall water features that have an ancient look. Roman, Greek and Aztec styles can really make you feel like you've stepped back in time to another period in history. 

Which design you choose, it should match the theme of the rest of the garden to look at its very best. You should also choose a water feature that is within your budget. 

The price of these wall mounted water features often depend on the materials they are constructed from, and the workmanship that has gone into them. For the more expensive types you could be paying quite a lot, but it will be worth it in the long run. There are also some cheaper designs that manage to look just as good without sacrificing the quality. A water feature is an investment in the house, just like any other project would be. And like other types of home investment, they are often reflected in the price when you come to sell your home. If done well, it can increase the value of your home above the price of the water feature itself.

As well as being easier to install and taking up less space than a pond with a conventional water feature, they can also be a lot easier to maintain. They tend to get a lot less full of dirt than a water feature based on land. As a result, leaning and replacing of filters is minimal. 

So if you feel that there is something missing from your garden. If you like birds and the sound of running water in the spring and summer months. If your garden is small, you should seriously consider installing a wall water feature. Doing so will add to the value of your home, and the beauty of your garden. They can also be very inexpensive to install and maintain.
