Modern Water Features
Contemporary Water Fountains and Features
I've always thought new water pieces need careful placing in gardens. Our latest ones come in bright steel and pale stone that catches light rather beautifully - some send water down glass walls making soft sounds, others let it run through lit channels. They look particularly good as the sun goes down, when you might be out deadheading roses or sitting quiet with a book.
The newer designs work well in both tiny gardens and bigger plots. We've put proper lights in most of them that turn water silvery as evening comes on, and the pumps run quiet enough to let you hear blackbirds over your morning tea. Quite a few gardeners tell us they've tucked them into corners where plants soften those clean edges.
If you fancy seeing what else might sit well in your garden, have a look through our complete range of Water Features for your garden. You might find something that catches your eye.
Modern Water Features for Today's Gardens
Clean lines and bright steel bring something fresh to gardens. Our modern water features work as nicely near old Stone Bird Baths as they do beside contemporary furniture. The water moves in different ways - some pieces let it slip down smooth walls, others make it dance through lit channels.
Most come ready with soft lighting that turns water to silver after dark. Rather lovely near Stone Fountains where old and new sit comfortably together. The solar powered ones need no wiring, quite clever how they store sunshine for evening running.
Our best modern water features catch light beautifully through seasons. Some gardeners put them near Stone Garden Statues, making interesting contrasts between smooth steel and weathered stone.
Getting the Most from Modern Features
Think about evening light when choosing your spot - water catching sunset through steel walls makes quiet moments special. The contemporary pieces often have adjustable flow, so you can have anything from gentle trickles to proper waterfalls.
Practical Garden Wisdom
Running costs stay low with modern pumps - about the same as a garden light bulb. Most people run them through daylight hours, letting them rest at night unless there's evening sitting out. Winter needs a bit of care - empty them before hard frost or add the right antifreeze if you fancy year-round water.
