Outdoor fountains add the relaxing sounds of running water to any setting. Fountains are decorative arrangements where water either jets out or pours out into a basin before being drained away. Fountains range in size from tabletop rock gardens to large pieces of public art. Outdoor fountains help create a sense of privacy by masking traffic and other noises. When choosing an outdoor fountain, first consider the size and how it will fit into your garden décor. Most yards will accommodate the larger pedestal outdoor fountains while a smaller fountain will create a focal point in the flower garden.
