Any DIY fountains?
We would really like to have a water feature to the side of the patio I found a pretty bright blue ceramic one that looks like a ball sitting in a bird bath. it was $169 for the entire thing including pump at a nursery. But i'm wondering if we should just DIY. But I wonder if it's a better deal to DIY or just get the one I found? Sorry, no pics.
Re: Any DIY fountains?
It's about 30" tall. It's very similary to this but maybe a bit more slender:

I would put it up against the fence and plant a vine behind it. Maybe either an orange honeysuckle, a cross vine, or bouganvilla and add some rocks at the base and other plants around it to create a focal point.
My brother is encouraging me to DIY but that would require digging a hole, making it level, finding a pot that I like and putting it all together. I had originally wanted something more like just a pot overflowing down into a basin covered with rocks.
The style we're going for is a bit Texas Hill Country meets Mexican hacienda. I love color but i'm trying to do as much drought tolerant things as i can do.
