Did you know 18.5 percent of the state of Florida is water? There’s a lot of lakes, ponds, rivers that run across this state. Many communities are built around these water sources, which give homeowners a spectacular view from their backyard. But even if your home doesn’t have an ocean or water view of any kind, you can bring water elements into your backyard and create your own personal paradise.

At Luxury Home Solutions, we specialize in designing and building outdoor living spaces. We help our clients create a natural transition from the outdoors to the indoors. We have integrated waters in with the natural landscape to produce beautiful backyards and outdoor spaces.

Whether you want an extravagant water feature or something simpler, we can work with you to design and create a layout that you’ll love. Below, we wanted to share a few ideas of some different ways you can aesthetically add a water element to your backyard.

• A fountain can be an eye-catching element to add to your back yard. These days, fountains come in all shapes and sizes. Some are subtle, while others are grandiose. Some fountains come with statues attached, while others are simply basins. The look of your fountain should reflect the feeling you want to give in the entire yard.
• A great spot to place a water feature (water fall, small pound, mini waterfall) is near outdoor seating. The sound and look of the water can be very relaxing.
• If you’re not keen on swimming pools, how about a natural pool? Natural pools look a lot like a pond; these natural pools can even have plants growing within them. Depending on how you build this pond, you can even have some people believing this wasn’t man made!
• Water spouts. These water spouts can be loud or quiet. They can also be out in the open or hidden, depending on the effect you want to have. You can install them coming from a pool’s walls or the side of a patio or house.
• If you love hot tubs but hate the way they look, build the hot up into your deck or patio. This way, the hot tub seamlessly flows into the wood or concrete around it.
• If you like to host parties outside, create a small pool around a bar (with underwater stools) in the back yard. Guest can swim up to the bar.

These are just a few of many ideas of different ways you can incorporate water into your back yard.
