In landscape architecture and garden design, a water feature<\/b> is one or more items from a range of fountains, pools, ponds, streams, culverts, rills, cascades, and waterfalls.\u00a0 A water feature could even be a dry, stone riverbed that is spanned by a bridge.<\/p>\n

A pool is a body of standing water.\u00a0 Concrete in-ground swimming pools<\/b>, ponds, and waterways involve masonry coping, decks, pavers, steps and possibly boulders to incorporate water features such as waterfalls.\u00a0 Masonry spas<\/b> are often incorporated into pools and decks.<\/p>\n

Masonry waterfalls<\/b> in residential yards are generally created from boulders and are designed to look natural as in a river spilling down into a pond or pool.\u00a0 A waterfall can also be a stream of water that spills down the vertical face of a masonry wall.<\/p>\n

Fountains<\/b> include water enclosures built with masonry materials.\u00a0 They may stand alone or be secured against a wall.\u00a0 Fountains may also be prefabricated masonry forms placed to stand on a patio or within a masonry water enclosure.\u00a0 Large fountains must be placed to be centered and level so that the fountain operates properly.<\/p>\n
