In addition to the pump, pipes, and fittings needed to move the water, a residential fountain or water feature is going to be made of something that is beautiful to the homeowner. This means there’s a choice of waterproof materials used to create your own version of paradise.

Here are five of the most popular materials used in residential fountains:
• Stone – from a natural jumbled pile to formal elegance
• Cast stone/resin – this can look like almost anything!
• Copper in different finishes – if you want it to stay shiny, have it sealed. Otherwise it will develop the patina that many prefer.
• Ceramic – again, this can be tile or pottery or almost anything.
• Glass or acrylic – often a sheet that the water flows over, this becomes invisible unless an etching is part of the design.

There’s a lot to choose from! How do you decide? Talk to an expert… because a fountain will be a feature of your outdoor living space for a long time.
