Outdoor Water Features and Fountains

Water features and fountains are a wonderful way to add beauty and your own personality to your swimming pool and backyard Home Resort. Alan Smith has a variety of water features and water fountains ranging from sheet flows, lighted laminar flow fountains, in-deck jet streams, in-planter jet streams, or conventional fountains, from which you can choose.

Sheet flows are one of the most popular water features for pools with raised bond beams or retaining walls that border a swimming pool. Sheet flows come in a variety of standard sizes from 12 inches to as long as 72 inches. We can also have custom lengths of sheet flow fountains made for your specific applications and needs. Sheet flows also come in a variety of water flow options depending on the look and volume of water sound you are desiring. The standard sheet flow provides a simple flow of water directly down into the swimming pool area offering a pleasant sound of water cascading into the pool. If you desire a greater volume of water sound you will probably want to consider the Arc sheet flow which pushes the water up at a 45 degree angle before cascading into the swimming pool. A third popular option is a rainfall sheet flow that provides more of a softer sprinkling sound and looks spectacular when combining it with decorative lighting.

In addition to sheet flows, you might want to consider a number of rock waterfall options. Whether you are considering a more conservative 24 inch waterfall, or a rock waterfall that reaches beyond 7 feet in height, your options are limitless. Please review our website section entitled Rock Scapes and Rock Coating in the Backyard Remodeling area for a more detailed review of your options.

Laminar jets are one of the most fun and tantalizing water feature options available. Laminar jets can be placed in a deck, in the coping of a swimming pool, or in an existing planter. The streams of water can cover both short and longer distances, and when lighting is added, can offer a wonderful complement to your swimming pool and backyard. Consider adding a dedicated pump and control and you can create a variety of water shows and effects using multiples of these laminar jets. You are only limited by your imagination.

When considering your options, you might also want to look at the variety of decorative scuppers and sconces for your swimming pool. These fountain accents can range in material from natural stone, bronze, copper, and silver nickel. The styles can vary from lion’s heads to flowers and leafs. There are many options that can be used to provide just the right look and feel to your backyard environment.

Other water features to consider involve foam effects, spray rings, water castles and more. Take your time to consider all the options. This can be a lot of fun and the result can be very rewarding. No swimming pool or backyard Home Resort is complete without a number of water features. Consult with one of our trained sales associates here at Alan Smith for just the right water features for you.
