Water is Life!

                                                          

Research has proved that simply looking at water (a stream, waterfall, etc.) for some time can restore blood pressure and heart rate to normal levels. Having a water source in the vicinity helps lessen the pain experienced by patients recovering from surgeries.

There are many benefits of adding water features to a landscape design. It provides a feel of a natural environment. You can recreate a stream, birdbath, or a simple pond in your backyard. Since a water source attracts different kinds of birds, small animals, and insects, kids can learn a lot simply by observing them. Don't worry too much even if your backyard is small in size. In fact, water features need very less space for installation. And you need not worry about wastage of water either. The water needed to maintain a piece of lawn is greater in comparison to a water feature which covers the same surface area.
