Do you want to decorate your home with something that can give you both tranquility and soothing calmness? There's only one thing that can give you both and that's the sound of moving water within earshot. If that sounds kind of neat then you should seriously consider pondless water features for your home.

This somewhat abbreviated approach to water gardening is suggested as an alternative to the set up a pond, add fish and plants approach. Yes that does sound idyllic and all. But have you considered the work involved?

Instead how about getting the soothing sound of flowing water without any of these maintenance hassles? Yes, you can still enjoy a waterfall garden without a pond. Sounds crazy I know but that's exactly how pondless water features work.

You could call this the keep it simple approach to water gardening. Much like container gardening for those who want fresh produce without tearing up half their yard to put in a garden. And you'd be surprised at all the ways you can achieve this. They range from a waterfall to some sort of fountain even.

Homeowners have never been more interested in adding some kind of water feature to the landscaping scheme. And there are good reasons for doing so. Here are but a few.

Soothes You: Just imagine the sound of trickling water nearby in your backyard in the middle of all the urban hustle and bustle.

Safety: With a pondless water system, there is no standing water. Hence, there is nothing to fall into. So if you have kids at home or living nearby having this kind of water feature is truly ideal from a safety point of view.

Space Saving By Design: Pondless water systems can be beautiful to behold. Not only do you get relaxed after a hard day at work by their soothing sounds, but looking at them can mesmerize you with their innate sense of tranquility. Plus, you no longer need to use much space to accommodate a pond. An amazingly small space is more than enough to enjoy the scenery.

Saves Time: The whole idea is here is to have a low maintenance water feature. And a pondless water feature is perfect for that as there is really nothing to take care of. Leaving you with all the benefits yet without any of the drawbacks common to water gardening.

For many, a backyard pond is simply no longer practical. But you can still enjoy the splish-splash sounds of water off your patio by installing a pondless water feature. It's a great addition that can complete the look of your landscaping. Plus it creates a sense of serenity and comfort right there in your own home without any of the worries you may have with a pond.
