Why Put A Blue Thumb Water Feature in Your Landscape?

It's Attractive

Water attracts your senses. Visually you see the moving water and you are drawn to gaze closer. As you approach a water feature you are filled with the tranquil sounds of the moving water and the wonderful aroma of flowers.

When you have family and friends over, guess where they’re inevitably going to gravitate and congregate? Moving water is mesmerizing and peaceful to look at.

Feels good, doesn’t it?

It's Peaceful & Tranquil

Put down the cell phone, walk away from the television, and immerse yourself into the wonderful world of water features.

The water feature experience is comforting and soothing. It transforms your senses and calms your world. Grab your favorite drink and retire to the patio and soak in the peacefulness of your water feature.

It’s the Zen thing to do!

Q: What type of water feature is best?

A: The answer to this question depends on how much space you have available, your budget, and the amount of time you are willing to spend maintaining the feature. Use this website to make the best choice for you & your family, or call our Blue Thumb water feature experts at 888-619-3474.

Q: Can I have fish & aquatic plants?

A: Yes! As long as you have a water garden or pond. Some of the other water features can support plant life but not fish. Adding fish to your pond has a positive effect on the ecosystem and creates a new and exciting element to your feature.

Q: What is the cost?

A: Typically, the installed cost of a water feature will range from $1,000 to $10,000+. The average professional water feature installation is around $3,500 depending on the type of feature and size you choose.

Q: What size is the best?

A: You usually base this on your available space and budget. We always tell people to build as large as they can afford, but not so large that it looks out of place in their landscape. This isn’t a line we use to raise the sales price. Fact is, most people build their water feature 3 times during its lifetime. Why? Because they want it bigger. You'll save money building your dream water feature the first time.

Q: How long does installation take?

A: Most water features can be installed in one day or less with minimal or no damage to your lawn. Some larger water features make take two or three days. For specific details on your project, consult with your local Authorized Blue Thumb Installation Contractor.
