Streams

The Benefits of Streams in Residential Landscaping

Streams are a beautiful and peaceful addition to any residential landscape. Moving water has countless benefits for you, your plant life, and any wildlife you might have around. Streams provide:

Sounds of nature – the sound of flowing water is one of the best tranquil sounds. By adding a stream to your home, you create a private oasis to escape to whenever you need a peaceful moment.

A clean pond – moving water keeps the base of your backyard pond clean and prevents mosquitos and other pests from taking up residence in a yard.

Wildlife – adding outdoor water features to your home invites birds, frogs, and other small animals to stop by for a bath or a drink of water and sometimes even take up residence in your stream. You might even see a few ducks or deer pass through for a quick drink of refreshing water!

Oxygenation – streams activate the water with movement, creating an influx of fresh oxygen into the water. Oxygenation revitalizes the stream itself, ponds, and any other custom water features you may have connected to your steam.

Irrigation – streams can be used to irrigate your lawn and garden, so you don’t have to worry about setting a sprinkler schedule – you can keep your plant life satiated naturally.
