Water Ideas for Backyard Landscape Design With Artificial Grass-ftl1

Water features are a game-changer for backyard landscape design with artificial grass. They look great with any synthetic turf style and never fail to add that wow factor. Plus, if they’re flowing, the soothing sounds they create turn your yard into a chill hangout spot. 

Interested? Here are nine water features that’ll turn your artificial lawn into a stunning oasis: 

1. Koi Pond

Koi ponds bring life and tranquility to your artificial lawn, creating a focal point that draws the eye. Surround yours with lush, synthetic turf to create a natural environment for the fish while enhancing your backyard’s visual appeal. Add a small waterfall or stream for increased movement and sound to turn the area into a peaceful retreat. 

2. Garden Fountain

Garden fountains add sophistication and elegance to any yard landscape. They come in different styles, from classical stonework to modern tiles. So it’s easy to find one that complements your outdoor design. 

The soothing sound of flowing water creates a calming atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a long day. Use the fountain as your artificial lawn’s centerpiece or place it in a corner as an accent piece. Surround it with plants for charm or seats for comfort.

3. Water Wall

If you’re going for a contemporary look, water walls are the way to go. Their vertical design allows for easy integration, even in smaller yards. The cascading water creates a mesmerizing visual and auditory experience, adding a touch of luxury to your outdoor space. 

Place a water wall along a fence or wall, or use it as a divider between different areas of your backyard. You can border it with Field Turf artificial grass; the lush, green turf offers a beautiful contrast to the falling water.

4. Bird Bath

Attract local wildlife to your backyard with a charming bird bath. These simple yet elegant water features provide a refreshing spot for birds to bathe and drink while offering a delightful focal point for your artificial grass landscape. 

Choose from classic pedestal designs, or opt for a more modern, sculptural bird bath to make a statement. Place it near trees, shrubs, or artificial grass hedges to provide natural cover for the birds. 

5. Rain Curtain

Rain curtains are unique and enchanting. They’re perfect for adding a sense of magic and wonder to your artificial lawn, as the curtain of droplets creates a stunning visual effect. 

Install a rain curtain over a walkway or seating area. You can also use it as a backdrop to your backyard landscape design with artificial grass. The gentle rainfall will mesmerize your guests and add a new dimension to your outdoor space.

6. Reflecting Pool

Create a sense of calm and serenity with a reflecting pool. These shallow, still bodies of water are perfect for showcasing the beauty of your surroundings, as they mirror the sky and surrounding landscape. 

Place a reflecting pool someplace that highlights the beauty of your backyard. Surround it with synthetic grass to give it neat borders. 

7. Bubbling Rock

Add a touch of whimsy to your artificial grass landscape with a bubbling rock. It’s a large, decorative rock with water bubbling up from the center, creating a subtle, soothing sound.

Rocks and pebbles usually surround bubbling rocks for drainage. You can surround yours with artificial grass instead, as it has a permeable backing for fast drainage. You can also install turf around the rock pile. 

8. Waterfall Stream

Add movement and excitement to your artificial grass landscape with a waterfall stream. This dynamic water feature creates a flowing, natural-looking stream that cascades down into a pond or pool. 

Surround your waterfall stream with artificial turf for landscaping and lush plants to create a lush, vibrant oasis in your backyard. Use several artificial grass types with different colors or heights for more visual appeal.

9. Spillway Bowl

These sleek, contemporary bowls spill water over their edges, creating a captivating, cascading effect. Place multiple spillway bowls at different heights to create a visually striking, multi-level water feature that will wow your guests.
