You can’t relax in a yoga posture, you tried working out in the sauna, and going to the gym isn’t really your thing. And it makes sense—you’re exerting too much effort to unwind! All you need is a spot to sit quietly and listen to the sounds of nature, such as brooks bubbling, birds tweeting, and breezes. What—no brook in the backyard? No issue. Simply create the next best thing for yourself by installing a backyard fountain that trickles gently.
There is no need to worry about the project. Almost any unused garden ornament can be “fountainised” in a single weekend, creating a lasting symbol of peace. Make your own tribute to a Grecian urn, resurrect an abandoned birdbath, or drill holes in a pile of rocks you discovered nearby. You will be able to release the tension from your bones in peaceful, flowing rivulets once the job is completed and your fountain runs over. It never felt so simple to relax.

Three components make up a garden fountain: a pump that moves the water, a sculpture that the water flows over, and water that trickles back down after flowing up a conduit in a continuous cycle. Any material that can tolerate continuous water can be used to construct the sculpture. Large stones are typically utilised for projects, however pavers, various metals, and pottery can also be employed. The core components of the system are the same regardless of the type of fountain material. To create a reservoir for the water, a waterproof tub or basin is first placed beside a hole in the ground. A stiff mesh screen above that prevents big debris from entering the tub. To prevent the fountain’s body from falling into the basin, a support system composed of sturdy yet water-resistant materials, including composite decking, is placed on top of the screen.
The system’s essential component is the submersible pump. It circulates and fine-filters the runoff from above while residing in the basin below the water line. Because the pump is electric, the fountain must be accessible from an outside outlet; manufacturers discourage the use of extension cables, and pump cords rarely extend more than 50 feet. After the fountain is constructed, it must also be accessible for maintenance, so you will need to create a trap door in the screen large enough to reach inside, disconnect the pump, and remove it. (Small stones or even mulch can be used to conceal the screen and support decking.) Water is delivered to the sculpture’s top via a pipe that fastens to the pump. Additionally, it has a tiny ball valve that lets you change the fountain’s flow, enabling you to create anything from a soothing trickle to a powerful geyser.
