Elevating Your Garden with a Water Fountain
The soothing sound of trickling water, the gentle splash of cascading droplets - there's something undeniably enchanting about a water fountain in a garden. But is adding one to your own outdoor space a complex endeavour? Fear not! In this guide, we'll walk you through the simple steps to bring the tranquillity of a water fountain to your garden, turning it into a serene oasis where you can unwind and rejuvenate.
1. Choose the Right Location
The first step in adding a water fountain to your garden is choosing the perfect spot for it to shine. Consider factors such as sunlight exposure, proximity to power sources for pumps or lighting, and visual impact from different vantage points in your garden. Aim for a location that enhances the overall aesthetic and creates a focal point for relaxation and enjoyment.
2. Select the Fountain Style
With the location sorted, it's time to select the fountain style that best complements your garden's design and ambiance. From classic tiered fountains to contemporary minimalist designs, there's a wide array of options to suit every taste and preference. Consider factors such as size, material, and water flow pattern to find the perfect fountain that enhances the beauty of your garden.
3. Prepare the Foundation
Before installing your water fountain, it's essential to prepare a solid foundation to ensure stability and longevity. Clear the area of debris and level the ground to create a flat surface for the fountain base. Depending on the fountain type, you may need to dig a shallow trench for the reservoir or secure a stable base for freestanding models. Take care to follow the manufacturer's instructions and local building codes during this phase.
4. Install the Fountain
With the foundation prepared, it's time to install your water fountain and bring it to life. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully, ensuring that all components are assembled correctly and securely. If your fountain requires a water pump or electrical connections, enlist the help of a qualified professional to ensure proper installation and safety compliance. Once installed, fill the reservoir with water and test the fountain to ensure it operates smoothly and efficiently.
5. Add Finishing Touches
With the fountain in place, it's time to add the finishing touches to complete the transformation of your garden oasis. Surround the fountain with lush greenery, flowering plants, or decorative stones to enhance its visual appeal and create a harmonious backdrop. Consider adding lighting elements such as spotlights or underwater LEDs to illuminate the fountain at night and create a magical ambiance. Personalise the space with seating areas, garden ornaments, or wind chimes to create a tranquil retreat where you can relax and unwind amidst the soothing sounds of flowing water.
Conclusion: Create Your Garden Sanctuary
In conclusion, adding a water fountain to your garden is a simple yet impactful way to elevate your outdoor space and create a serene sanctuary for relaxation and rejuvenation. By following these easy steps, you can bring the soothing sounds and visual beauty of a water fountain into your garden, transforming it into a tranquil oasis where you can escape the stresses of daily life and connect with nature. So why wait? Embark on your garden transformation journey today and experience the joy of a water fountain in your own backyard.

Delivery was efficient, all well packaged and protected from damage. Constructed by three of us in one and a half days. Everything fitted perfectly and needed gentle mallet to locate exactly. Instruction book was clear simple and explicit. Thoroughly delighted with the construction and the finish. Very pleased that Martin was able to redraw the design to our specification. Delighted with the whole thing, finish, price and service. Thanks Martin.

Great quality item with simple, concise instructions, easily constructed by the family. Great delivery service. However, the customer service from Garden Adventure was not great; the cabin was a month late arriving, we had to chase for information regarding this as none was forthcoming. The incorrect bearers arrived and although we received a refund we had to chase for this. Not sure I would recommend them but the cabin materials were great.

Seamless ordering, Martin was extremely helpful with all my questions. Delivery was also fantastic with the delivery guy very helpful (it's a big delivery). Took me and elderly father in law 2 days to get it all up and built/weather tight, went together very easily with no issues. I went for the shingle roof, it still came also with felt which could be used as roof underlay. For spec I went for the superior level glazing with toughened glass, also went for the larger logs (68mm) and glad I did as feels so sturdy/insulated although am sure the 44mm would be great also. I Insulated the floor with celotex, could have done the roof but as this is a garden room rather than office etc I didn't go that far. Overall a highly recommended product, for what you get I think it's a very competitive price, much better than others I had seen that weren't so good. The only parts I bought myself were the insulation and guttering (and paint/preserve of course). I want it to last so did two coats of preserve, knotting and two of paint, also have a sealant to go on which is yet to be done. A sprayer really helped/cut down on time. Would not hesitate in recommending Martin to purchase through, helpful all through the process and very quick to respond. 5*

Great cabin. Excellent quality. From the initial ordering and having it customised to my specs, to screwing on the last piece of trim this has been a pleasure. Straight forward to assemble. Had everything but the roof covering done in a day on account of how well it went together. Sturdy high quality build. Could not be happier. This company have been an absolute pleasure to deal with. Top marks 👍

Really pleased with our log cabin! Can't believe the quality of the wood. It took the installation team (Lee Stuart and 3 others who were recommended by Martin) 6.5 hours which was really impressive given the weather conditions on the day, and even they said how good the quality was. It is so warm inside and we didn't even have the insulation installed. Great correspondence from Martin from the start to keep us in the loop regarding production and delivery times. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thanks Martin!
