Creating a beautiful garden or patio takes a little planning so that no feature is overlooked while all components work together, whether a water fountain, koi pond or any other water feature. Using flowers and plants to frame and accent outdoor decorations will create a harmonized area that's also pleasing to the eye. There are many options for matching or complementing a fountain, but here are some tips to get you started.
Outdoor patios or pool areas that use marble, concrete, stone and tile can appear hardened and unwelcoming. Potted plants and ferns can be placed in corners, on side tables and along the edge of a pool or walkway to add some color without detracting from the classic look you want to achieve. The plants and ferns will add some luscious green in contrast to the dull stone or concrete with simplicity. Likewise, if you have a colorful tiled fountain, you certainly don't want to pull focus away from it. Stick with greens again by using broad leaf plants, ivy and creeping juniper. Ivy complements most wall-mounted fountains, but be careful the vines don't interfere with the way the fountain functions. Pruning the ivy will keep the vines in check while they snake along.
