For preparing a fountain, you can connect an underground water source to the newly built fountain. Otherwise, there are some cost-effective designs as well. You can keep a pot at a height and arrange a pipe through it to arrange the water source. The base of the pot should be covered with rocks so that the construction of the pipe grows invisible.

The shrubs can go into layered rectangular shape or into Christmas tree like multiple triangular shapes. These pruning methods are really handy. With these pruning methods, the time between two consecutive pruning intervals also increasing. Thereby, reducing the cost and indeed the sweat.
