Ponds, sometimes with fish such as Koi and water plants.
River scenes, often with boulders, rocks and waterways that resemble a mountain stream.
Small gazing pools of water made by filling pots, urns or other water receptacles.

Any or all of these methods can be used. They are each interesting projects that have benefits and will add life to outdoor areas.

Garden Fountains

These unique structures are usually made out of a durable and heavy material. Concrete is a good example. Most of the time they self-circulate water but they can also be used with auto-fill mechanisms to self-fill. The finishes are variable and they can be made to have a weathered and worn look that will make them appear as if they have been in your garden for many years right after you buy them.

Ponds

Ponds are usually made with a bottom watertight liner that sits in the ground. The liner is filled with water and you can add Koi fish for good luck, lily pads, small frog statues and other things you may find in a real pond. You never see the liner from above.

River Scenes

These are great for Feng Shui because the water course is directed and points favorable energy towards your home and garden bringing good luck, fortune and happiness your way. These are highly individual and you are more like an artist constructing these since the outcome will be specific to you and never the same.

Gazing Pools

These are the easiest to do. Just buy any pot or urn without a drainage hole in the bottom. Bonsai bowls without the hole make excellent basins. Fill with water or let the rain fill it, and you can gaze at the water. These are very beautiful because the wind will stir the water and sunlight will reflect on clear days. Great for patios by your chair or your kitchen windowsill. Just be sure to keep the water clean and fresh for that good energy.
