Your garden should reflect your personality and therefore extreme care should be taken when designing your garden.
The tranquillity that water can bring to a garden is remarkable and a fountain will give life to your garden and where possible should be included in your landscape design, and so turn the ordinary into the quite extraordinary.
A walled garden with a fountain becomes a sanctuary and can dramatically transform your experience and enjoyment as well as increasing the value of your home.
A rose garden for example can be quite stunning on its own but when created around a carved stone fountain the effect is splendid as the colour of the roses wonderfully contrasts with the lime stone of your fountain to captivate all who witness it.

• Egyptian temple compounds had sacred lakes but it was the Romans’ use of lead pipes which made plumbed fountains possible.

In medieval and Islamic gardens fountains were placed in pools and used for washing and in Renaissance and Baroque gardens fountains became central features.

• Throughout history fountains have been built by many rulers of the greatest empires and dynasties as symbols of opulence and grandeur.
