How can I build a water feature in the front yard?
I would like to build a water feature in my front yard but don’t know where to start. I have a fountain in mind but have not yet purchased it. How do I go about starting the process. Who do I hire? Need to know the process of what needs to happen before I have someone come in.

Hi Jacqueline. Most important for your water feature will be the availability of an electric source for the pump, or full sun location for a solar version. If you're not planning on doing the work yourself, you can hire out a reputable landscape company experienced with water features. To actually see and understand every step involved, you can visit YouTube, as there are many available to view. 😊

I have a patio pond on my patio that might be suitable for your project. You can get one from Aquascape. You need either a power source for the pump or maybe can get a solar powered one: http://momhomeguide.com/my-new-patio-pond-a-patio-pond-giveaway/
