Construction method of fountain landscape in landscape engineering

Fountain is one of the most common garden waterscape, which is widely used in indoor and outdoor space, such as city square, public building or as a building, garden sketch. It is not only an independent work of art, but also can increase the air humidity of local space, reduce dust, and greatly increase the concentration of negative oxygen ions in the air, so it is also conducive to improving the environment and improving people's physical and mental health.

There are many types of fountains, which can be roughly divided into ordinary decorative fountains, fountains combined with sculpture, water sculptures, automatic fountains, etc. In general, the location of fountains is mostly located in the focus or endpoint of the axis of buildings and squares. According to the environmental characteristics, some fountains can be made to decorate the indoor and outdoor space freely. Fountains should be placed in a sheltered environment to maintain the water type.

There are natural and integral forms of fountain pool. The position of water spray can be located in the center of the pool, or it can be arranged on one side or freely. The form and scale of water spray and the scale of water spray pool shall be determined according to the spatial scale of the fountain location.

1. Location of fountains in different environments

Open sites, such as the front of the station, the entrance of the park, etc., the fountain pool is mostly plastic type, the pool should be large, the water spray should be high, and the lighting should not be too gorgeous;

Narrow site, such as street turning, fountain pools are mostly rectangular;

In the traditional garden, the fountain pools are mostly natural water sprays, which can be made into falling water, gushing spring, etc., mainly to show the natural water state;

Lively places, such as some small parts of the park, fountains are free in form and can be combined with various decorative pieces such as sculptures. Generally, they should not be changed too much.

2. Height and diameter of water spray

According to the physiological characteristics of human visual field, for fountains, sculptures, flower beds and other scenery, the vertical visual angle is 30 degrees, and the horizontal visual angle is 45 degrees. The suitable sight distance of the fountain is 3.3 times of the spray height. Of course, it can be used to shorten the sight distance, resulting in the effect of looking up. There should be a certain proportion between the radius of the pool and the head height of the fountain. Generally, the radius of the pool is 1.5 times the height of the fountain. If the radius is too small, the water drops are easy to splash. In order to make the water spray lines clear, it is advisable to use dark scenery as the background.
