Stone Fountains 101

Stone fountains are beautiful and can serve as an interesting touch in your yard or even inside your home. When it comes to choosing exactly what you want, however, the possibilities can be overwhelming. Even choosing where to put your fountain can be a debate. Don’t fret; we’re here to simplify the process and give you some helpful starter information.

Design

The first decision many people will make when adding a stone fountain to their home is choosing the design. While there are no real limits to the design of a fountain, typically there are two main options: abstract and traditional. An abstract stone may not have any designated shape or structure, but rather looks simply like a rock plucked from nature with a water feature built into it. An abstract stone fountain can bring a bit of edge and unique style to your décor. A more traditional style may be what most people think of when they hear the word ‘fountain’. These could be shaped like birdbaths or even have multiple levels for water to cascade down serenely. 

Outdoor Fountains

Once you’ve determined what you want your fountain to look like, it’s time to decide where to put it. If you want your fountain to be outside, it’s important to keep three factors in mind: appearance, durability and weight. You want your fountain to last as long as possible and be able to withstand weathering that will happen over time. Natural stone can be a great choice for an outdoor fountain, seeing as how it’s naturally found outside. Who knew?
