Do it yourself water feature

Add music and beauty to any garden.
If a koi pond seems like too much maintenance to you, then you might want to consider a pondless fountain.  Pondless fountains add an element of water to your garden without the cost and upkeep of a traditional pond.  The secret is underground...a submerged basin, hidden by river pebbles keeps the water flowing.  The water comes out of the fountain and then magically "disappears" into the ground to be recycled.  Best of all, you can install it yourself in just a few hours!

If you can dig a hole and put together components, then you can build one of our user-friendly fountains. How easy is it to build your own garden feature? Just check out the pondless fountain that Diane M. of Greensboro built! Everything you need to build this feature is right here at Oak Ridge Shrubbery and our friendly, knowledgeable staff will be more than happy to help you find what you need. So what are you waiting for? Your perfect fountain is waiting for you!

First dig your hole and insert one of our basins.
Next, install a water feature pump kit.
Cover the basin and pump with pretty river rocks.
Attach fountain or hollow basalt pillars to the fountain and Voila!  Your feature is finished.
