Should I add a water feature to my yard?

By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®

A water feature adds beauty, tranquility, and can mask neighborhood noise. Options range from simple container fountains to pondless waterfalls and koi ponds. Small fountains are affordable and easy to install yourself. Larger features require professional installation and ongoing maintenance. Consider the sound, size, and style that fits your yard. Moving water also attracts birds and wildlife.

Why It Matters

Water features create a relaxing focal point in your landscape and can increase your property's appeal and value.
