Sure thing! When it comes to water features, consider the upkeep involved. Opt for features like fountains or ponds with easy-to-clean surfaces. Incorporating plants around the water feature can enhance aesthetics while also helping with maintenance by filtering the water naturally. As for your outdoor play area, artificial turf is a popular low-maintenance option that's safe for kids and provides a lush green look all year round. Ground covers like rubber mulch or pea gravel are also worth considering for a soft and safe play surface.

Finding the perfect balance between a stunning water feature and low maintenance is like finding a unicorn—elusive but magical when you get it right! Stick to materials that are tough as nails and require less pampering than a diva on a movie set. And remember, when it doubt, add a gnome or two to distract from any algae outbreaks!

Consider usage of lighting strategically to enhance the visual impact of the water feature. Underwater lights, spotlights, or ambient lighting can add drama and elegance. If incorporating plants, choose low-maintenance varieties that don't shed leaves excessively into the water, reducing the need for cleanup and if space allows, for the water feature consider incorporating water plants or a small pond. This adds a natural touch and contributes to a balanced ecosystem.
