!: On a Budget? DIY Water Features Add Value to Your Property and Don't Cost The Earth

So many people love the soothing and calming sounds of water. Small, inexpensive water features can be added to your home's landscaping. You can produce water features on a budget that will add to your family's enjoyment and your home's value.

These small DIY water features will enhance your outdoor activities on summer evenings and you won't find a better attention grabber when it comes to selling your home than to offer your listing as one with a water feature.

Any type of water landscaping can be simple yet beautiful, even on a budget. It adds a personal touch to any patio, yard or garden.

There are not a lot of people that will bother with the trouble or expense of making their own pond. If you don't have a pond to work with and can't see one in your financial future then planning to create your own container for your garden makes perfect sense. It allows you to bring water and aquatic plants to your outdoor scenery without a full-blown pond to work with.

Any waterproof or plastic container can be used as a water garden feature. DIY water features are pleasing in terra cotta pots too. They require a little more work because they have to be sealed but after that they are a very budget conscious way to have a container water feature for your home.

The majority of aquatic plants are low maintenance. You can purchase submerged or floating plants depending on your tastes and what you think fits visually in your containers.

You can use several different water containers in different types and styles. You can easily arrange and rearrange these containers as you like. Adding rocks and other outdoor features such as statues or tables will make it truly your own.

If you like the sound of running or trickling water, in your DIY water features you can add a small pond pump or water garden pump kit from any home maintenance or improvement store. These are very inexpensive when you choose the smaller variety but the price goes up with the size or amount of water they will pump.

You may like the idea of a solar powered feature. These pumps will cost you a few more dollars to begin with but they will never add to your electric costs which will save you money in the long run.

When working on a budget you have to find many ways to stretch your dollar and still have a beautiful water garden. It will easily add to the enjoyment of your home, as well as the look and add value to your property.
