Enhancing your outdoor space with a stunning water feature can transform an ordinary yard into a tranquil oasis. The water feature installation process is both an art and a science, requiring careful planning and expertise to create a feature that complements your landscape while delivering aesthetic and practical benefits.

At Gary Krause Landscaping and Design, we have over 30 years of experience helping homeowners in Jacksonville, OR, and surrounding areas add beautiful, functional water features to their properties.

Why Consider a Water Feature for Your Landscape?

Water features, such as fountains, ponds, and waterfalls, can add a unique element of relaxation and visual appeal to your yard.

The calming sound of flowing water not only enhances the atmosphere of your outdoor space but can also improve mental well-being by providing a serene environment to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Additionally, water features help create a sense of balance in your landscape, often serving as a focal point around which the rest of your design can revolve.

For residents of Medford and Ashland, adding a water feature can increase property value, as well as blend beautifully with the surrounding natural environment.

Aesthetic and Environmental Benefits of Water Features

Water features offer numerous aesthetic benefits. Whether you prefer the gentle trickle of a small fountain or the dramatic presence of a waterfall, they can enhance the beauty of any outdoor space. The visual contrast between the water and surrounding greenery can also highlight other features of your landscape, such as garden beds or stone pathways.

From an environmental perspective, water features can promote biodiversity. By introducing a pond, for example, you can attract various species of birds, insects, and aquatic life. This creates a balanced ecosystem right in your backyard. Additionally, our team at Gary Krause Landscaping and Design uses sustainable materials and eco-friendly practices during the water feature installation process to ensure minimal impact on the environment.

Types of Water Features: Choosing the Right One for Your Space

1. Fountains

Fountains are a popular choice for homeowners looking to add a touch of elegance to their landscape. Whether you opt for a simple tiered design or a more intricate piece, fountains can create a peaceful ambiance with their gentle water flow. Fountains also require relatively low maintenance, making them an excellent choice for homeowners who want a striking feature without the hassle of regular upkeep.

2. Ponds

A pond can be a perfect addition to larger yards, offering both beauty and function. At Gary Krause Landscaping and Design, we specialize in creating custom ponds that fit seamlessly into the existing landscape. Ponds can serve as the focal point of your garden and offer a home to a variety of aquatic plants and animals. For those interested in further enhancing the visual appeal of their pond, adding koi fish or water lilies can bring even more life and color to the space.

3. Waterfalls

For homeowners looking to make a bold statement, a waterfall is an excellent option. The soothing sound of cascading water adds a dynamic element to your outdoor environment, creating a sense of movement and energy. Waterfalls can be incorporated into existing garden beds or paired with ponds to create a multi-dimensional water feature.

4. Streams

Streams offer a more naturalistic approach to water features, mimicking the flow of water you might find in the wilderness. These features can be particularly effective in properties with sloped terrain, allowing the water to flow naturally from a higher point to a lower one. A stream can be designed to flow into a pond, enhancing both features and creating a cohesive look.

Maintenance and Upkeep of Water Features

Like any other part of your landscape, water features require regular maintenance to keep them in optimal condition. However, the level of upkeep depends on the type of water feature you choose. Ponds, for example, require more attention, including cleaning and checking water quality, especially if you have fish or plants. Fountains and waterfalls generally need less frequent care, but regular checks on pumps and filters are essential.

At Gary Krause Landscaping and Design, we offer comprehensive maintenance services for water features, including cleaning, repairs, and seasonal maintenance. By ensuring that your water feature remains in top condition year-round, you can continue to enjoy its beauty and functionality for years to come.
