Fountains & water features - movement, sound and atmosphere for the garden
Fountains and water features are among the most effective design elements in the garden and living area. They combine water, design, technology and nature to create a harmonious overall experience that appeals to the senses and lends any room a special atmosphere. This can be the garden, the patio or a spacious outdoor area.
The gentle splashing, the reflective water surfaces, the soft sounds and the soothing sound create an ambience that promotes relaxation and allows the mind to calm down. At the same time, fountains and water features are functional elements that improve the climate, increase humidity and can even attract birds.
There is a wide variety of versions, designs and materials and complete garden fountain systems. This variety of fountains, water features and design elements enables us to create a new living space for you that perfectly matches your personality and individual wishes, the style of your garden and the surroundings.
The effect of fountains & water features - water as a living element
Water is an element that has always exerted a special fascination. The sea, lakes, but also swimming pools and fountains have a very special effect on us humans. In garden design, water is like a natural antithesis to solid structures made of wood, stone or metal. A fountain brings movement to quiet areas, creates depth and gives the garden a new dimension.
The rippling of a water feature has a calming effect, while the visual dynamics of the water surface bring light and shadow to life.
Water appeals to all the senses:
- See: Reflections, shapes, colours
- Listen: Gentle noises, soothing sound
- Feel: Fresh air, increased humidity
- Experience: Connection to nature, movement, liveliness
The result is fountains, water features and other Design elements an oasis that appeals to body and soul in equal measure.
Variety for every area
Garden fountain
A garden fountain is a striking element that structures the outdoor area. It can be the centrepiece of a seating area or blend harmoniously into the planting.
Fountain
A fountain produces dynamic jets of water that have different effects depending on the type of nozzle, from gentle bubbling to powerful fountains.
Water bowls
A water bowl is minimalist, elegant and ideal for modern gardens or terraces. It has a calm and meditative effect and is suitable for confined spaces as well as interiors.
Waterspout
Water spouts can also be created in a modern design. These bring movement and character to the garden. They are particularly suitable for walls, pond edges or raised areas for a wider fall and therefore a stronger effect.
Materials - aesthetics, durability and style
The choice of materials has a significant influence on the effect, durability and maintenance of a fountain. At egli jona, we design customised fountains that are perfectly adapted to your wishes, requirements and design concept in terms of shape and type. We use a variety of materials for this, including
- Natural stone & granite: Natural stone and granite have a high-quality, solid and timeless appearance. They blend harmoniously with nature and are particularly durable.
- Metal: Metal, especially stainless steel, stands for modern elegance. It reflects light and water in a special way and is suitable for clear, architectural gardens.
- Stone & concrete: These materials are robust, weatherproof and versatile. They are suitable for both modern and classic designs.
Technology - the centrepiece of every fountain and water feature
The technology of a fountain or water feature forms the functional foundation and determines how harmoniously, reliably and efficiently the water later flows. At the centre is the pump, which keeps the water moving and determines how high a fountain rises, how powerful a surge of water is or how gently a bubbler works. Modern pumps are energy-efficient, quiet and durable, so that they produce a pleasant sound even when in continuous operation.
To keep the water circulating, every water feature requires a water reservoir or basin, which is usually designed to be visible. The water is fed to the outlet point via hoses and connections, be it a nozzle, a waterspout or a bowl. Depending on the model, additional elements such as filters are used to keep the water clear and reduce deposits.
Technology at a glance
- Pump for water movement and fountain height
- Water reservoir or basin as a circulation system for greater efficiency
- Hoses & connections for the water supply
- Light for atmospheric evening lighting
Light can be added to the technology for atmospheric evening hours: underwater LEDs set the water centre stage and create fascinating reflections.
Planning & design - step by step to your own water world
Planning a fountain or water feature begins with the question of the desired style, size and location.
Step 1: Wishes & needs
Should the fountain be an eye-catcher or blend in discreetly? Should it have a calming or dynamic effect?
Step 2: Location
A fountain works particularly well near seating areas, paths or plants. The interplay of light and shade is also important.
Step 3: Design and material selection
Thanks to our many years of experience, we can design fountains entirely according to your personal requirements and wishes. Depending on the choice of shape and material, we can create fountains that are not only unique, but also blend in perfectly with their surroundings.
Step 4: Commissioning
Commissioning includes filling, connecting the pump and adjusting the nozzles.
Step 5: Care & maintenance
Regular cleaning, inspection of the technology and care of the materials not only ensure good aesthetics and a beautiful effect, but also a long service life, so that your investment in fountains, water features and garden design will give you many years of pleasure.
Atmosphere, effect & relaxation
A fountain changes the environment in a subtle but profound way.
He creates:
- Ambience
- Relaxation
- Natural beauty
- a pleasant climate
- a living connection to nature
Birds use fountains as a drinking place, plants benefit from the increased humidity and people enjoy the calming effect of the water. Depending on the fountain, colours, materials and design can also be used to create an artistic accent in the garden.
