Fountains

Every fountain here is the same machine wearing a different top. A sealed basin sits below ground under a grate. The pump lives inside it; the water films over the feature and drains straight back. Nothing ever stands in open water, so there is nothing to fence, net or skim.

How a self-contained fountain works Side cut-away. A pump inside a basin buried under the grate sends water up a hidden tube into the feature, where it films over the surface, then drains back through the pebble and grate into the sealed basin below. There is no open water.
  1. 1. The pump lifts it. It sits inside the buried basin.
  2. 2. Water films over the feature. The only water you ever see.
  3. 3. It drains straight back. Through the pebble you lay and the grate.
  4. 4. Nothing stands open. No pond, nothing for a child to step into.

So the only real choice is the shape you want to look at, below. The pump is matched to the feature for you, sized to how high the water has to climb and how wide it sheets, which is the one judgement worth leaving to us. You supply the pebble, an outdoor power point and the digging.

A fountain is the smallest way to get moving water into a garden; for most courtyards and entries it is the right one. The piece sits on a hidden basin, the pump lives underneath; there is no open water to fence, net or skim.

Every kit here is from Aquascape and arrives complete. Choose by the shape you want to look at: an urn or a sphere reads as sculpture, a bowl or spillway reads as a small landscape.

Fountains questions, answered

What is in a fountain kit?

The fountain itself, the underground basin that holds the water, the pump, the tubing and the fittings. It is sold as one box so it runs the day the groundwork is finished.

Where should a fountain go?

Near where you sit or an open window, because the sound only carries a few metres. A fountain at the far end of a lawn is decorative; one beside the table is the reason people buy them.

Does it need a power point?

Yes, an outdoor rated one within reach of the basin. Sort that before the feature arrives, because adding it afterwards usually means lifting whatever was just laid around it.
