Hi guys,
I really hope you had a safe and happy July 4th holiday.
It's Sunday morning and I am sitting outside having my first cup of
coffee [we all know that is super important] and listening to my water
feature.
Installing a disappearing or hidden-basin water fountain
doesn't take up as much space as a waterfall or Koi pond but still gives you
the sound of bubbling water and a great looking focal point for your landscape.
With a disappearing fountain, water is pumped through and
out a fountain standpipe from a hidden reservoir buried in the ground. The
water then overflows the basin rim and seems to disappear into the ground.
Installing a hidden or disappearing water fountain is a
great DIY project and a way to add the soothing relaxing sound of moving water
to a patio, pool or flower garden area.
I installed my "disappearing
fountain" water feature 4 years ago and it is amazing. Everyone
who walks into my yard loves it and inquires on how involved it is to make or
how much it would cost to have done.
If I had to place a price on this project I'd guess you will
spend almost but not quite $1000 plus labor to do it right. Here's how
it's done:
