Stone Water Features for the Garden
Stone brings something proper to a garden. Our water features come from good materials - granite that shrugs off decades of weather, marble that plays nicely with light, and limestone that gets better with age. They sit rather well next to Stone Bird Baths if you're keen on making spaces for garden birds.
Each piece tells its own story. You'll find smooth sections where water runs clear as glass, and rough-cut channels that make gentle splashing sounds. Some catch evening light beautifully, especially when placed near Stone Fountains or between green plants.
Most gardeners settle them over pebble pools - it's quite clever really, as the water vanishes into stones and bubbles up again, with no deep water to mind about. They work rather nicely near Stone Garden Statues, particularly those with lights that make the water shine after sunset.
Good Things to Know
Which stone works best?
Granite stands up to anything, even hard frost. Marble looks grand but likes a sheltered corner. Limestone settles into your garden, growing more natural year by year.
Getting through winter
Most stone copes well with cold, though it's worth emptying them if frost's coming. A quick cover keeps autumn leaves out, saving you work come spring.
Choosing the right spot
Think about where you sit most - water sounds should add to quiet moments, not take over. Morning or evening sun brings out the best in polished stone.
