First, you need a large airtight container, which you will leave in the hole dug in the garden, or place on a waterproof surface inside, which you will then cover with some material of your choice, so that it is not visible, but leaving the hole in the container open for water. Next to the water pump, which will be in charge of expelling the water to give it the function of a fountain, you need paving stones and rocks to decorate.

Once you have prepared the container on the ground, as well as located and covered in a precise manner, proceed to decorate it with the ornamental rocks, preferably colored, that you can place around and inside the container; moreover, if you decided not to cover it, you can do this with the same rocks. Decorate the contour with the paving stones, of the form that you prefer, place, and connect the water pump in the interior, between the rocks of the container. Once it is ready, simply fill it with water and regulate the pump as you wish.
