How to Use Water Features When Landscaping a Front Entrance

Draw a picture of your front yard. Pencil in the water features you would like to add near your front entrance. Try different designs until you find the one you like best for landscaping your entry.

Measure the areas near the front entrance where you would like to add your new fountains. Use these measurements to help select your water features. Chose fountains that complement the existing features. Complete any assembly necessary and install following the manufacturer's directions.

Chose birdbaths that enhance the landscape of your front yard (they can also attract beautiful songbirds to your yard). Install the birdbaths near existing trees and shrubs near the front entrance of your home, following the manufacturer's directions.

Select a waterfall system that seamlessly work with any preexisting features of your home, like a wall or fence near your front entrance. Install the water fountain system on the wall or fence, following the manufacturer's directions.

Install a pond as a part of your front entrance to enhance it and help draw attention to it. Select a pond that is proportioned well to and complements the existing features of your front entrance.
