overall quality of your landscaping. Like anything else
though, starting small allows you to learn valuable lessons
that you could attribute to greater projects you take on in
the future. Several reasons why you should start small and
work your way up include that these mini-projects are cost
effective for a starter project and smaller projects
require less maintenance attention. Also, small fountain
landscaping projects fit easily into tight quarters, and
could simply be just the slight edge needed to bring a
focus into an existing landscape.
These starter projects can either be purchased at the store
or even homemade. If building a homemade fountain is your
best alternative for a starter project, it is recommended
to start in a flower bed. Begin by creating a simple
shape, and line it with a supple liner. From there,
install a fountain inside a piece of clay pottery. This
will provide you with a simple, yet effective accent to a
normal flower bed. Building and maintaining this man made
creation will allocate skills and knowledge for future,
more illustrious fountains. Unfortunately, the clay
housing for the fountain cannot sustain the impact of the
weather in some region's winter weather. During this time,
it is recommended that the pot be removed from the water to
avoid breaking.
Once the time comes that you decide you would like to
dispose of the starter project, and move on to bigger and
better things, the process is simple. All that needs to be
done is to remove the liner (which can be reused for the
next project) and fill in the spot where the fountain used
to be with dirt. As mentioned previously, as you build
your new, larger landscape, you will be aware of the
shortcomings and mistakes you encountered when building the
previous development. Applying the experience gained to a
new landscape will allow you to maximize the quality.
Another positive that you could apply is the boldness of
the landscape itself. With one venture under your belt,
you are more likely to take chances and experiment with
more complex components. Some examples could include a
bridge as a new focal point of the landscape that showcases
a stream running to the pond area with a fountain. The
more sweeping the features are means that the more in depth
the project will require you to be.
