1. Zen Design Fountain
Make your backyard a relaxing space with a zen garden nook. It features bamboo as a typical Japanese plant and stones. The fountain flows out of a large stone container and pours down a small pond with a bottom covered with rocks.
2. Fountain And Pond Combination
This idea is great for larger free areas in the backyard. The fountain flows out of a square concrete structure. It pours down a pond built a level down the fountain to faux the natural staggered flow of the water.
The lining of the pond matches the adjacent outdoor features to create a harmonious and elegant overall look.
3. Fish Pond And A Fountain Idea
This vertical garden is complemented by a water feature. Its design coheres with the vertical greenery arrangement. The container the water flows out is a steel box with holes at the bottom. It is left untreated to become rusty in time and create a striking interest.
4. Wall Fountain
This contemporary fish pond idea is impacted by the Japanese zen garden look. Bamboo surrounds the fountain at its sides to draw attention to the water feature. The source of water twists the perception of a traditional Japanese garden and adds a modern flair to it. Water flows out of a water pump hidden in the concrete wall.
5. Simple But Gorgeous Fountain

6. Artistic Fountain
If you want to keep the interior and exterior artistic, you can go for a fountain made from a natural material but adapted to the new application.

7. Mini Pond With A Fountain
This is one of the simplest fountain ideas in our collection of water fountains. It features two containers of different sizes and shapes. The smaller one is staggered over the larger one to recreate the fountain flow.
8. Tiered Fountain
Give the simple-to-make water fountain an interest by setting it in tiers. Three round metal domes follow a staggered arrangement to complete a waterfall look.
Make sure that the area of the rim where the water will spill out is curved down to let the water overflow easily.
9. Vintage Tiered Fountain
Another way to create a tiered fountain is to set the containers vertically, ensuring that parts of them overlap with each other so that the water flows always within the containers. Three galvanized tubs are repurposed into basins and a galvanized watering can is the source of the water.
This is a smart idea because the pump set remains hidden.

17. Boho Fountain
This type of fountain is called a submerged fountain because the water pump is set under the water. The air pressure of the pump swirls the water and eventually, bubbles of water are produced on the water surface. This type of fountain produces amazing murmuring sounds which are perfect for a relaxing outdoor nook.
18. Rain Fountain
The rain fountain is a lovely way to create a focal point in the backyard. It is best to build it in the deck to be able to hide the water basin and also ensure improved humidity during warm days.
The water goes out of the top beam of a copper structure. The small holes in the material ensure that the fountain flows down like rain.
19. Natural Waterfall
