Q: Are backyard water features worth it?

• <div><p>Backyard water features can add serenity to your property, drown out neighborhood noise, and serve as a focal point to a stunning landscape design. In some cases, a properly installed and maintained water feature can add to your home&rsquo;s value. Just be sure to check with your insurance company before installation since some features may affect your premiums. </p></div>

Q: Do outdoor water fountains use a lot of electricity?

• <div><p>Most outdoor water fountains and features do not use a lot of electricity, typically consuming between 100 and 250 watts per day.
