The article describes the benefits of having a water feature and the different options available.  It also discusses the recent SAWS changes that have made owning a water feature easier.

Different Types of Water Features

Preferred has had the opportunity to design and build all different types of water features.  We have done everything from large scale commercial down to small scale residential water features.  All of them are unique in their own way and customized to fit your landscaping needs.

Here are a few of our favorites to inspire you.

The relaxing sounds of water

Are you stressed after a long day at work? Wouldn't it be nice to have a relaxing oasis in your own backyard? Adding a water feature to your landscape is an easy way to add a bit of tranquility to your life. As of May of this year, residential water features can run anytime, even during drought restrictions.  This has made having a water feature much more desirable since you can have it run all year along and not have to turn it off during the summer months.

There are all sorts of different water features to accommodate anywhere from a small to a big area.  There are fountains, ponds and waterfalls.  The most popular water feature we install are the fountains that include several pots.  You get a lot of color from the pots as well as great sounds as the water flows onto the textured pots.

When choosing a location for your water feature you should consider how much sun it will get as well as the wind.  Optimally, water features will do best with the least amount of wind and sun as it will conserve the water. Preferred Landscape and Lighting will be happy to help you design and install the perfect water feature for your yard.
