30 Creative and Stunning Water Features to Adorn Your Garden

Simple Urn

I like the simplicity of this urn fountain because although it certainly is a beautiful and eye-catching feature in a garden, it isn't too fancy or overbearing. Just make sure that your pot or urn is specifically designed to remain outdoors so that this will last and make it through all weather conditions.

Water Wall

This outdoor water wall is without a doubt one of the most striking and visually stunning garden projects I have ever laid eyes on. And the fact that you can make it with your own two hands just makes it so much more attractive, in my opinion. This will cost you around $250 to $300 which peanuts compared to the price if you were to buy it already made.

Recycled Water Wall

If you have one of those round glass-top tables that you're not sure what to do with, you should really consider using that glass piece to create this beautiful water wall – of course, a square shape would work, too. Repurposing materials will make this an affordable build.

Stone Pond and Fountain

All you really need is one open weekend to create this lovely pond and fountain feature. The tutorial lays out the steps very clearly, so the project itself really isn't that difficult to get done. If you have to buy the stone the whole project will probably cost around $200, but try to get the stone for free so that you can significantly lower your costs. If you really love working with stone, you could also make yourself this fantastic stone fire pit.

Tiered Pot Fountain

This fun project is a nice quick and easy one since you don't really need all that many materials and tools. Take the time to trawl the gardening stores to find the perfect pots. And if you don't have too much space and want to downsize, you can always use just two pots instead of three (alternatively, you can add another pot if you want it even bigger).

Teapot Fountain

I am a serious tea drinker, so this adorable teapot fountain is right up my alley! I absolutely love the combination of the rusty vintage teapot and wooden whisky barrel (you can use a wine barrel, too, of course) – it gives it that charming rustic look that I love so much.

Waterfall and Pond

If you want to save thousands on a lovely pond water feature, you can make something like this yourself for just a few hundred dollars. The original DIYer and tutorial writer got all her supplies from Lowe's, so getting everything together won't be much of a struggle. Don't forget to make it your own in terms of your stone placement and plants.

Artesian Fountain

This particular artesian fountain will only take about two days to make and isn't actually too big of a project, so don't feel intimated by this one. This design makes use of a gravel-filled reservoir as opposed to a collection pond, the maintenance on the whole thing will be rather low.

Mini Water Garden

If you don't have the space, money or time to build a pond but still desperately want a similar water feature, then this mini pond in a container is something you should strongly consider. The water lilies and lettuce look so pretty and calming in there, and thanks to its smaller size, this is the perfect way to beautify your porch.

Slate Fountain

You don't always have to make absolutely everything with your bare hands, you can buy yourself something really beautiful like this fountain that can be kept indoors. It's a solid product that's really easy to set up, built to last, and emits a very soft and soothing sound of flowing water that isn't disrupted by the sound of the pump.

Flower Pot Fountain

The beauty of this DIY fountain is all in the flower pots, so take your time to pick out some real stunners rather than the regular terra cotta pots. If you're unsure of anything in the process of the build, have a look through the comments section – you should be able to find some answers to your questions there.

Another Flower Pot Fountain

I just love all these flower pot fountain ideas because it really is the simplest way to make your own water feature with minimal effort, and it makes such an impact! This tutorial really shows you just how easy it is to set up yourself.

Leaning Flower Pot Fountain

Look at what a difference it makes if you just lean the smaller pot ever so slightly! It totally changes the look. I love the fact that you can fill the pots with rocks that are very visible – it just adds to the beautiful visual impact. If you really like terra cotta as a material, then you'll go crazy over our collection of outdoor terra cotta crafts.

Tire Pond

A couple of old tires can be repurposed to make a lovely little series of ponds in your yard. It's a very simple build, and once you have the basic setup, you can put your own personal spin on it in terms of the decorative stones, plants and gravel.

Canoe Feature

Isn't this just awesome?! I love the playfulness of the idea of filling a canoe with water instead placing it in water. It has a small submersible filter and is even home to some happy little goldfish. You won't have to line since canoes are built to be waterproof in the first place, and you can have some real fun with the plants and decorating.
