Tips & Guides for Zen Water Features
Non-slip paths
Use textured, non-slip stepping stones and handrails where possible. Gentle gradients reduce strain and improve balance.
Regular cleaning
Schedule brief, weekly checks to clear leaves and debris. Clean water stays healthier for plants and visitors.
Choose hardy greens
Opt for low-maintenance, evergreen grasses and ferns that thrive in dappled light and stay vibrant year-round.
Soft soundscape
Layer gentle water sounds at varying speeds. Subtle cascades, not torrents, cultivate a meditative mood.
