⛲ About Our Stone Fountains
Transform your outdoor space with our range of Stone Fountains, crafted to serve as permanent garden architecture. Unlike temporary plastic or resin options, these high-quality stone features are designed to weather naturally, developing a unique antique patina over time as moss and lichen establish. Whether you require a dramatic focal point or a subtle background sound, our collection caters to every requirement.
Our selection includes Tiered Centrepiece Fountains perfect for circular driveways and large lawns, offering a classic, formal aesthetic. For smaller courtyards or patios where digging a reservoir isn't possible, our Self-Contained Water Features provide an easy-install solution with the pump and water contained entirely within the unit. We also offer Wall Mounted Fountains to maximise space in compact gardens.
Sound is a crucial element of your choice. Large tiered fountains create a dramatic cascade, masking traffic noise effectively, while our Vortex Stone Fountain and smaller bubbling features offer a gentle, meditative trickle. Browse our broader category of Garden Fountains to compare styles.
✨ Key Features
📋 Choosing Your Stone Fountain
Selecting the right fountain involves balancing scale, sound, and maintenance.
📏 Size and Placement
Measure your available space carefully. A large Fountain Pool Surround requires significant ground preparation and is best suited for expansive gardens. Conversely, a self-contained feature can sit directly on a patio. Consider the splashing radius; higher drops create more splash, so ensure your fountain is not placed too close to walkways or furniture.
🗿 Material and Aging
Our fountains are primarily made from high-quality cast stone. This material is superior to concrete, offering a smoother finish that mimics natural quarried stone but with greater durability against frost. Over time, the stone will darken and weather, blending seamlessly into your landscape. You can pair these features with matching Stone Garden Planters.
⚡ Power and Installation
Most units are plug-and-play regarding water flow, but you will need an outdoor power source for the pump. Check the cable length provided (typically 10 metres) to ensure it reaches your power point. For more inspiration, read our Guide to Best Garden Ornaments.
💷 Price Range
Our collection fits various budgets, starting from £115 for smaller water features up to £1145 for grand, multi-tiered estate fountains.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, this is critical. Water expands when it freezes, which can crack the stone bowl or damage the pump. You must drain the fountain, remove the pump, and cover the feature with a frost protection cover during freezing UK weather.
It depends on the model. Self-Contained Water Features hold their own water in a hidden reservoir or the bottom bowl. However, large tiered centrepieces often require a separate pool surround or a sunken pond to catch the water.
Regular maintenance prevents algae buildup. Use a soft brush and warm water for general cleaning. Specialist fountain cleaners are available that are safe for birds and wildlife. Avoid harsh acids which can damage the stone surface.
No, they use a recirculating pump. You simply fill the reservoir with a hose or watering can, and the pump recycles that water. You will only need to top it up during hot weather due to evaporation.
Cast stone is a reconstituted limestone material that allows for consistent texture and intricate detail at a more accessible price point. It is extremely durable and frost-proof, aging in a similar way to natural quarried stone.
