This type of water feature is way on top of my wish list . . . and has been for many years.
Water features can be a large, elaborate and expensive set up or can be very simple and inexpensive. The possibilities are endless, but where do you start?
Cost has been a huge inhibitor since my ideas tend to be very elaborate. We have a very large city property that used to be very wild and natural, yet well maintained that has grown into an urban jungle due to pesky health problems getting in the way, it seems to me that a larger water feature, once constructed, should prove to be just what we need. Much research needs to be done and it isn't a project slated for this year, but the planning stage for the back yard needs to get started.
In the meantime, our front yard is a clean slate begging for something special. A very simple and inexpensive water feature would be perfect, combined with raised beds with large paths. The object of the project is awesome curb appeal with little maintenance.
My plan is to document the before and after transformation on my website. We are getting a late start this season, but it is never too late to transform a landscape in Florida.
This website, The Family Handyman, is where I am starting . . . it has lots of inspiration and instructions.

HGTV and DIY Network are excellent resources for ideas and instructions.
Feeling overwhelmed like me? Start with a small project and work into the larger projects as you gain expertise.
