Fountain Ponds
As we enter the summer months, and even into fall, why not think of adding something out of the ordinary into the landscape by using a fountain pond? Christensen’s has long been a distributor for EasyPro, based out of Grant, Michigan. This year, we've added products from another Michigan based company, Blue Thumb.
When you've stopped in the Plant Center, you've likely noticed the EasyPro Tranquil Décor Basalt column fountain kit on display. These are normally three columns, with a pump, base, hoses, and normally the lighting that stays in the columns. EasyPro also offers the Vianti™ Falls Spillway kit, which adds a ‘falls’ system to any block walls that you install. Talk about a great way to add something relaxing to the patio!
Another option from EasyPro is called Just-A-Falls™. These kits are a simple way of having a beautiful waterfall without the need for a pond. With the Just-A-Falls™ system, you get everything needed: pump, liner, pipe, glue, pipe, etc.
Blue Thumb offers something a little different with their fountains, ranging from vase fountains, to real stone fountains and even metal fountains.
So far, the metal fountains have intrigued me with shapes like a Japanese maple, a weeping willow and even an Iris flower.
The Iris flower looks to be interesting since the fountain is made from copper and the Iris flower is colored either red or even blue.
While planning for later this year, or even next, keep in mind the option of adding a small, relaxing element into the plan. If I was redoing my patio, I would surely add in a fountain set to relax with after being at work.
Next time you're at Christensen's, please ask any of us about the fountain pond options from EasyPro and Blue Thumb and we will get you all the information.
