Material
Since water and fire are eroding forces you will want to use sturdy materials to keep this lasting a long time. Copper and natural stone are often used in making fire and water fountains. Using natural materials adds to the beauty of these natural forces.

A fire and water fountain can take the shape of any typical water fountain with a separate fire feature or the fire can be included with the water.

You can find a company who can do a custom design that uses features you already have in your yard. The water and fire fountain can be incorporated into a swimming pool, koi pond or outdoor fire place.
Now that you know what to look for when shopping for a water and fire fountain you can create the yard of your dreams.
