How a Water Fountain Changes the Experience of a Garden in Ways No Other Feature Can

There are features that improve a garden visually. And there are features that change it experientially. A water fountain does both.

The movement of water across stone introduces sound that softens the ambient noise of the neighborhood, the street, the wind. It introduces light play that shifts throughout the day as the sun angle changes. And it introduces a focal point that draws the eye and holds it in a way that static elements, no matter how well designed, cannot replicate.
