A fountain can add movement, sound, and visual interest to an outdoor space. Before choosing one, consider the size of your space, the style of your home, the sound you prefer, and the installation and maintenance requirements.
Visit PRO Aggregate to view available fountains and compare different sizes, styles, colors, and materials in person.
Consider the Size of Your Space
Choose a fountain that fits comfortably within the available area. A tall or wide fountain can become a strong focal point, while a smaller fountain may blend more naturally into a patio, garden, or entryway.
Measure the intended location before visiting our yard. Remember to allow enough room around the fountain for installation, maintenance, and access.
Think About the Sound
Different fountain designs produce different sounds. A gentle trickle may create a quiet and relaxing effect, while a larger waterfall or splash may be easier to hear in a busy outdoor area.
Consider nearby traffic, neighbors, seating areas, and how close the fountain will be to your home.
Choose a Style That Fits Your Landscape
Fountains are available in a variety of styles, colors, shapes, and finishes. Consider the architecture of your home and the existing materials in your landscape when making your selection.
Natural stone and rustic designs may complement traditional landscapes, while clean lines and simple finishes may work better in modern spaces.
Plan for Installation
Before purchasing a fountain, consider:
- The size and weight of the fountain
- The location of an electrical source
- The type of basin or reservoir required
- Access to water
- The stability and levelness of the installation area
- Whether lighting will be included
- How the fountain will be moved into place
Installation requirements vary by fountain. Follow the manufacturer's instructions or work with a qualified installer when necessary.
Plan for Maintenance
All fountains require ongoing care. Maintenance may include cleaning the basin, checking the pump, removing debris, managing algae, and addressing mineral buildup from hard water.
The amount of maintenance required will depend on the fountain's material, location, water quality, sun exposure, and surrounding landscape.
