Q: Do installations include electrical and plumbing work?

• <div><p>Yes, professional services include proper electrical wiring and plumbing setup for continuous water circulation.</p></div>

Q: Can you make a fountain without a pump?

• <div><p>Yes, it is possible to make a fountain without a pump, though it may seem less intuitive and will require a bit more effort to use.

Q: Are outdoor water fountains high maintenance?

• <div><p>Every one to three months, you should perform regular <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/fountain-maintenance-take-care-your-garden-fountain.htm">fountain maintenance</a>, including draining, cleaning, and rinsing the components of your fountain basin and the pump and tubing to prevent algae and other buildup. Fountain maintenance also includes keeping the appropriate water level and removing debris like leaves, insects, and twigs from the water to avoid clogging the pump.

Very professional, and the plants he chose fit our needs perfectly. Even did a small side job while they were here, that I hadn't told them about. Would recommend, and will have them back for our backyard project, as soon as the Pandemic stuff gets better :).
