Water feature
Hi all, I am looking for a water feature for my garden. I was thinking something on the lines to this or any other ideas are welcome. Thank you.

Are you able to post a photo of the site where you want to place the fountain? That would allow people to get a sense of how the location could be augmented with moving water.
I've seen this which I think could work?
Its hard to judge scale from posted photos (and those used in adverts) but may be worth standing something a similar size (even if just a box) to check it would look in proportion to the area. If it’s going to be standing alone it could look like a pin on a drum if it isn’t large enough to have some presence or could get lost amongst any surrounding planting.
East facing, top of a hill clay-loam, cultivated for centuries (7 years by me). Birmingham
With the sharp lines of your paved area, I would think something like this would be more in keeping, if you can live with the resin finish

This is more expensive but I think looks better. But note is is only 45cm - heed what Butterfly66 is saying

And this is another option, but it is only 40 cm

Maybe make a cobble fountain using a kit and integrate it into the design

This is our solar powered water feature in the slate garden. It works a treat and the sound is very soothing. It has tiny led lights at the top of the granite balls. (Excuse the plant pot - I was trying to rescue a parched alpine ⚰)
