Did you know that outdoor water features are a great way to spice up your landscaping? Not only do these add beauty to your property, but they also add a sense of tranquility and peace. If you're considering outdoor water features, here are a few factors you should consider first.

1. Professional Installation

To ensure that your water features are done right, you'll want to hire professional landscape designers. Water features aren't usually a DIY project. There is a lot that goes into ensuring the feature is installed properly. If it's not installed properly, you will likely have a world of problems in the future. Additionally, if you aren't sure about what features you want, our pros can provide expert advice on what would work well in your space.

2. Space

When your landscape pros first visit your property, they'll inspect the area and the available space. They'll be able to make well-informed recommendations for you about what will and won't work. Since they are the experts, it's wise to follow their advice. They will know how to use the space for the best effect.

3. Neighborhood Restrictions

Before making any big changes to your landscaping, you'll also want to consider any HOA restrictions. Most HOAs have rules concerning road-facing landscaping. You don't want to invest money into features and then find out they aren't allowed.

4. Water Restrictions

You also need to check for any water restrictions in your area. Some neighborhoods and even whole cities have strict rules concerning water usage. This is for the good of everyone. It doesn't necessarily mean you can't have any water features; you might just have to follow some installation rules to ensure the feature doesn't use too much water.

5. Maintenance

This is a really important detail that people often overlook. You want to only invest in water features that you can practically maintain going forward. Talk with your landscape pros to discuss the realistic maintenance of the feature going forward.
