If you are spending all that time and money on a water feature, you will want to see as well as hear it.

Leaves and twigs may add to the up keep of your system and starve the plants of needed sunlight.

Sit on the deck or where ever you would be viewing the water feature from and take notes of the angles and placement that would be best.

After deciding were you would like your water feature always call dig before starting. They will locate any under ground lines. This may help decide the placement of your feature.

Decide on the size and shape of your feature.

Space as well as money may play an important role in the decision of how big to build your water feature.

The size of the feature will also determine the Kit size you will need to purchase. The larger the feature the larger you will want the pump for your system.

Not only will the larger pump give you more water action, keeping the water moving and allowing the feature to stay cleaner, but also will determine the water sound.

Use a hose, rope or drop cord to see the shape.

Placing a hose or drop cord on the ground, will allow you to see the shape more easily and do any changes before starting to dig. Just remember the shape is not etched in stone. Changes along the way will and do happen, just let your imagination flow. The feature will look more natural.
