Waterfalls

Whether flowing over stacked stones, pebbled tiers, or a single large boulder, waterfalls bring the soothing sound of water to a patio or garden. They create a stunning visual centerpiece that is perfect for any outdoor area and may even attract wildlife.

Stone Fountains

A popular choice for both indoor and outdoor spaces, stone fountains can be designed to gently trickle or create a thrumming, natural soundtrack with powerful jets of water. Smaller indoor versions can add a calming, Zen-like ambiance to bedrooms or offices.

Bubbling Boulders

A more understated option, bubbling boulders feature water flowing softly through a hole in the stone, creating a more gentle sound than traditional fountains. These work well in small outdoor spaces or as part of a larger water feature.

Koi Ponds

Koi ponds combine the beauty of living nature with carefully arranged stonework. A well-designed koi pond can serve as a peaceful focal point for your garden, offering both a home for vibrant fish, a visual treat, and a conversation piece for visits.

Stone Water Walls

For a touch of elegance indoors or out, stone water wall features provide a sleek and modern look. These vertical features allow water to cascade down a stone surface, bringing the outdoors inside in a chic, contemporary way.

What Type of Stone is Used for Water Features?

Granite
Known for its durability, granite is ideal for water features that require a sturdy base. Its range of colors also makes it useful in multiple settings and designs.

Slate
With its dark hues and natural, layered look, slate gives water features a sleek, sophisticated appeal. It is commonly used for fountains and small cascading waterfalls.

Limestone
Limestone offers a chalky white color and more porous texture that makes it ideal for creating a softer, more natural-looking water feature. Its muted colors blend seamlessly into your landscape.

Sandstone
With its warm tones and beautiful striations, sandstone is perfect for outdoor water features set against garden elements like plants and pathways, but isn’t as durable as granite or slate.

Stone Water Features: Maintenance & Upkeep

Once we’ve installed a beautiful new stone water feature on your property, maintaining it is easier than you might think. Regular upkeep includes simply cleaning debris from the water and ensuring the pump is functioning correctly.

Seasonal maintenance, like winterizing pumps and other sensitive features, will also help prolong the lifespan of your water feature. Natural stone can weather over time, which often adds character, but periodic cleaning will keep it looking fresh and appealing. The team at The Rock Garden can offer professional advice to make sure your water feature ages gracefully and retains top functionality for years to come.
