Water features are great additions to your outdoor space in North Carolina, as they create a relaxing environment with their soothing water sounds and visual appeal. However, you can either choose from a custom design or opt for a kit to bring your vision to life. You'll want to consider whether you have an exact picture in mind for your water feature or only a general idea. You should also consider your preferred timeline, as kits are typically finished faster than custom designs. Finally, you'll want to think about your budget, as custom water features are typically more costly but allow you to create a truly unique feature. On the other hand, kits are ideal for those who want a more cost-effective way to achieve their dream water feature.


Do you have an exact picture in mind of how you want your water feature to look?

When deciding between a custom design or a kit for your water feature, you'll want to consider whether you have an exact picture in mind of how you want it to look. If you already know how you want it to turn out, a custom water feature is the way to go. After all, you can create a unique design that fits your vision perfectly, and you can work with professionals to ensure you get just what you want.

On the other hand, if you have a general idea but need help taking it the rest of the way, a kit is a great option. Kits have pre-designed layouts that you can choose from, and they'll still yield a beautiful water feature that'll elevate your outdoor space.


What's your preferred timeline for the water feature project?

Another consideration when deciding between a custom design or a kit for your water feature is your preferred timeline for the project. Kits are typically finished faster than custom designs since they're already designed, allowing the installation process to get started sooner. So, if you want to enjoy it sooner rather than later, a kit might be the best option. However, if you're not in a rush and want to ensure your water feature is exactly the way you want, custom is great, too.


What's your budget for your water feature?

The last consideration when deciding whether to custom-design your water feature or opt for a kit is your budget. Custom water features are typically more costly, though this is a great option if cost isn't an issue. After all, you can create a design that aligns with your preferences and outdoor space, and you can choose from a variety of materials to make it unique to you. On the other hand, kits are great for people who want a more cost-effective option for creating their dream water feature. They come with everything you need to build it, and you can still choose from different pre-designed layouts to suit your preferences.

Some common types of water features include ponds, fountains, and waterfalls.
