The fountain creates a central focal point between two Pennsylvania bluestone patios. The paths in this garden transition from formal to casual to rustic.
Surround with permeable materials. When splash and spray are desired effects, consider placing foliage at the base of a water feature. The foliage joints in this patio will enjoy any overspray the fountain sends their way. Were the joints made of gravel, the patio surrounding the fountain would still have the benefit of allowing overspray to permeate into the ground rather than coming to rest on a hardscape and evaporating.
