with Ernest Williams from Aquascape
In this episode of Down the Garden Path, we revisit last spring’s conversation with Ernest Williams from Aquascape about how pondless water features can bring the beauty, movement, and soothing sound of water into your yard.
Tune in to learn more about pondless water features and more.
Here are some of the topics discussed in this episode:
Pondless water features offer beauty with less maintenance
Pondless waterfalls, fountainscapes, spillway bowls, bubbling rocks, urns, basalt columns, and disappearing streams allow homeowners to enjoy the sound and movement of water without the maintenance and safety concerns of a traditional pond.
Water features can transform the feel of a yard
Water adds calm, sound, movement, and atmosphere to outdoor spaces. Use water features to create a backyard oasis, improve curb appeal, attract birds and wildlife, soften traffic or neighbour noise, and make your home feel more like a cottage retreat.
Water features can also solve practical landscape problems
Pondless features, aqua basins, aqua blocks, and rainwater collection systems can help manage runoff, wet areas, downspout water, drainage challenges, and stormwater concerns.
