Create Paradise with a Water Feature
Get the Guide: Water Feature Ideas
Water features enhance any garden, providing ornamental interest, soothing sound and a habitat for wildlife.
Adding a garden water feature needn’t cost a fortune either. Something as simple as an attractive bowl filled with water can make a real impact, reflecting light and neighbouring plants. Calming trickling sounds can be generated by a rill or fountain, while a pond will allow you to grow aquatic plants and provide a home for many backyard critters.
At Stone & Water World, you have everything you need to create paradise in your own backyard even if you're on a tight budget. Here's a list of some of our favourite ways to bring water into your backyard.
Water Bowls
Water bowls, like this Adwater Water Bowl, can be placed anywhere in the garden, but they’re particularly useful in shady areas where they help to bounce light around. They’re easy to set up and come in lots of styles, from pretty stone bowls to sleek metal bowls with a more contemporary look.
Pebble Piles
This pebble pile is one of the simplest and cheapest to set up. A pile of artfully placed stones and pebbles conceal a pump and water reservoir beneath. We've got all you need to make it happen, explore our range of pebbles and stones here, or our pumps and filters here.
Decorative Water Fountain
Decorative water fountains are ideal if you have an area in the garden that’s in need of a focal point.
At Stone & Water World, there are lots of different styles to choose from, including polished spheres, stone monoliths and pedestals.
Troughs & Tanks
Watertight troughs and containers can be filled with water to create interesting unique features. When combined with flowering plants and foliage, the end result is striking. If you decide to upcycle a water trough or container, Stone & Water World has all you need to keep your water feature crystal clear and looking great, including pumps, filters, lights and a range of water treatments.
Garden Ponds
Of course, a garden pond never fails to impress. A garden pond will work in any size of garden or design style. They can be wildlife havens packed with plants, or minimalist, contemplative pools with linear boundaries. Add bubbling sound with a fountain or rill. From the pumps and accessories to exotic plants and flowers that will thrive in and around the water - some never before seen in New Zealand - you can get everything you need in one visit at Stone & Water World.
