Design details

Here, our natural stone sphere water fountain appears as if floating on a large reflective pool. Water gently tumbles over its surface of glistening, dark puddle stones, creating a focal point that is both an aural and a visual delight in this exquisite outdoor space.

“I love to take rough ‘masculine’ elements and transform them into smooth sculptural surfaces.”

David Harber

These outdoor fountains emit a relaxing babble of trickling water. The level of sound created can be adjusted so that the piece can be used to help drown out the sound of heavy traffic.

Product information

A power feed to the site is required for the water pump, and connecting the fountain to the mains power supply must be undertaken by a qualified electrician. Shipping quotes can be obtained and charged at cost. Please read our FAQs or email our sales team for further information.

If installed correctly with a suitable filtration and softening package, then maintenance required for this outdoor ball fountain is minimal. Typically, this would consist of draining it a few times a year to remove any debris. Once clear, it can be refilled with fresh water. In areas of hard water or high salt content, the basin will need to be drained more frequently, as the concentration of salts in the water increases over time. Maintenance instructions will be issued on installation.

Natural stone water features are both attractive and durable, making them ideal for landscaping. The sound of water flowing over a stone or slate fountain mimics natural environments, transforming any outdoor space into a tranquil oasis. Stone generally lends itself better for smaller, free-standing floor fountains, but if you’re looking for a wall fountain, mirror-polished stainless steel or verdigris bronze are just as beautiful.

To clean the surface of your stone or slate water feature, gently remove loose dirt and debris with water. Do not use a pressure washer, as this is likely to damage the material or finish. All water features need to be drained a few times a year. For more information on how to do this, read our maintenance guide above.

All outdoor water fountains are stunning organic artworks that elevate your garden into sensory realms of discovery. The sight and sound of a cascade fountain, water wall or tabletop fountain have well-being benefits, and on a practical level, flowing water can mask the undesirable sound of passing traffic. Add external LED lights to illuminate the piece, and enjoy its sensory pleasure at night. Stone fountains will give your garden a natural ambience. For example, a stacked slate sphere of quality Welsh grey slate will work in harmony with a wilder style garden.
