Hello, Not sure anything is zero risk these days but shallow self contain fountain ornaments are good for wildlife and are entertaining for adults and children alike.

A wet rockery or "bog garden" can be an excellent way to incorporate water into the garden without the risk of deep water for children or pets.

Help deal with any wet areas of the garden, whilst maximising the vibrant colours available from aquatic plants, in addition these make fantastic habitat enhancing areas which will encourage. range of invertebrates, frogs, and newts.

Oskars · Answer

Consider these zero-risk water features for your garden:

1. **Self-Contained Fountains**: Small, low-level fountains with no deep water.
2. **Water Gardens**: Shallow ponds with aquatic plants, avoiding deep areas.
3. **Pebble Pools**: Flat, shallow areas of water over pebbles for a natural look.
4. **Bird Baths**: Shallow bowls of water for birds, with no deep sections.
5. **Cascading Waterfalls**: Small, gentle waterfalls that flow over rocks, creating a safe environment.

Ensure all features are shallow and supervised to maintain safety.

Safe, low-risk water features include pebble fountains, wall-mounted fountains, pondless waterfalls, and ceramic urns. They have no open water, making them safe for kids and pets. Use low-voltage pumps and cover basins with mesh for extra safety.

Duncan · Answer

A pondless waterfall thats recirculating the water would be safe to use around pets and kids
As the water is pumped out the top of ountain it returns into the hidden reservoir .as it runs down the water fall.

Kind regards

I work with schools and know this to be challenging. If you want to install a pond then cover the area in mesh or a grid to stop anyone falling into the water. Maybe consider a water fall feature over slate...
