A waterfall feature in a backyard by Ambrosio Landscape Solutions

Why Your Backyard Needs a Water Feature


August 30, 2021


There’s nothing quite like sitting out in your backyard and soaking in the sun and all the beautiful nature right outside your home. Our spring and summer seasons are great in Connecticut, but the cold season is also long, so it’s essential to enjoy the great weather while you can!

Water features such as ponds, waterfalls, fountains, and more make a great addition to any backyard space. Aside from their beauty, there are plenty of benefits to investing in a water feature for your property. 

Take a look at these four reasons to add a water feature to your landscape:

  1. The sounds of water soothe the soul. 

Water for centuries has been recognized for its healing and soothing powers. Adding a water feature, such as a water fountain or waterfall that continuously flows, will create a calming sound that fills your outdoor space. If you’re looking to make your backyard a more relaxing place, adding a water feature is the perfect place to start.

  1. Backyard features add property value and curb appeal. 

Landscape water features are always a point of interest for potential home buyers. If you’re thinking about selling in the near feature, consider adding a water feature to increase your property’s value. As well, water features make great visual interests and can make any property look beautiful and elegant.

  1. Less noise pollution.

A flowing water feature can help mask any nearby loud noises such as cars, trains, or yelling kids to help instill peace and serenity in your backyard space. 

  1. More wildlife.

Imagine sitting out in your backyard, enjoying nature, and you notice a couple of chirping birds taking an interest in your pond for a little bath. Wildlife is always looking for a place to drink, bathe, and enjoy, and your new water feature can help do just that. There’s plenty of beautiful wildlife across Connecticut to see, and your water feature can help attract all different animals such as birds, squirrels, rabbits, and more.
