Water. It’s hard to imagine anything quite as relaxing and tranquil as a gently splashing fountain; dancing, sparkling brook; or rippling pond filled with colorful fish.

Water features have been incorporated into landscapes since ancient Chinese and Roman times, when they were revered for these soothing qualities.
