There is something tranquil about a water feature in a natural landscape. It adds a beautiful visual element to the yard and the sound of running water creates a sense of peace and serenity. In this special episode, we’ll share some of the features we’ve added to homeowners' houses over the years and we’ll break down the process of adding one of these to your own backyard.
Roger installs a downspout alternative; a rain chain. Roger installs a Circle Rain Chain and later, in the workshop, shows three more decorative rain chains. They can be found at some garden shops and also ordered through online retailers. Everything Roger used for this project, including the stones, gravel, and mulch, can all be found at home centers and nurseries.
Then Roger helps a homeowner install a solar-powered fountain in her backyard. After selecting a site for the fountain, Roger created a perfectly level base. They started by digging out 6-8 inches of topsoil. Next, they laid a mixture of stone and stone dust, compacted it with a hand tamper, and checked it for level. Next, Roger set the heavy concrete fountain's base in place and shimmed it with stone dust underneath until it was perfectly level. With the base installed, Roger set the basin on top and installed a pump. Instead of a pump that uses electricity from the house, Roger installed one that is solar-powered. With the pump installed, Roger set the top piece in place, filled the basin with water, and the installation was complete.
Next, landscape designer Jenn Nawada installs a water feature that collects and reuses rainwater. The water feature Jenn installed includes the rubber liner, underlayment, structural blocks, pump vault, basalt columns, and pump.

Good old Roger, I hope roger is doing ok with his health issues. We wish him the best.
Well, he's not. This is an assemblage of very old episodes. The new overlords at Roku must have demanded more episodes than they had the budget to make.
@@ssl3546 He just said he hope he's doing well.
Season 19 was during lockdown. So This Old House was not deemed essential.
I've sold about 85 pond aeration compressors to keep fish in those ponds from freezing up over the winter. I'll be listing more in the near future. They do a really nice job, and draw very little current.
Nice to see Roger back on... how is he doing?
19 Old-Home Design Features We Want to See Again!! |/:).
There; you are adding you' re; own water features!! |/:).
The sound of running water seems to draw more birds to our yard. We have seen birds that we haven't seen before.
Such an enormous project to install three vertical stones with water bubbling out the top. Must have cost thousands, you'd have to really love bubbling water for that to be worth it
Pfft. It's worth it. And I'm sure they can afford it.
Roger!!!
that chain thing is splashing over everything...
Weird timing on this upload but will be cool once summer comes around in 6months.
The weeping willow was a mistake bit beautiful overall! (if that's what is was/is)
Ok now everyone wants to know if Roger is ok... is this a rerun episode?
considering they're on season 21 currently and this is a compilation episode from seaosn 19 -- yes :)
@@moonabove89 These are actually compilations from season 1-18.
Here's your huge LED light for the water feature that is supposed to look like it's been here forever
I love roger, but I hate the season 42 clipshow reruns.
These were during 2020 when they couldn't visit homes or make the show
This is because of lockdown.
15:00 Basalt rock is not from volcanoes. I suggest watching a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that. I got it in my about tab.
Wait...we're back to the best of's?? 😑
Don't be that neighbor who thinks putting a small pond in the backyard with frogs is cool..
Why not - please explain...
Agreed. Noisy as hell. And stinks
Really noisy if they situated the pump right next to your fence
Increase of mosquitos?
Heres my best advice about water features over the decades. Dont do them. Constant maintenance, constant worries, constant chemicals, constant time, leaks, worries, Pumps failing, hard water scale. And then winter comes and you need to blow them out or winterize them But what do I know. Best water feature is one you dont have. Ive saved so much of my free time not ever having them again
I appreciate your insight.
BTW Virgil I suggest watch a 13 part series called _What on earth happened_ by Ewaranon to learn that the earth is not a globe. I got it in my about tab.
