Does Your Garden Need Stone Water Features?

Stone water features can help to transform a garden. If you’re looking for a simple way to jazz up your outdoor living space, then contemporary stone water features could be just what you’re looking for!

In this blog, we take a look at some of the reasons why a natural stone or composite stone water feature may be great for your garden.

Natural Beauty and Tranquillity

Stone water features provide a naturally beautiful fountain for a garden. At Aquascape Australia, we have both Natural Stone Basalt Columns along with a range of fountains made from fiberstone. The Natural Stone Basalt Columns are handcrafted from natural stone, making each one excitingly unique. Our Fiberstone Decorative Fountains are made from highly-durable fiberstone, yet look like natural rock veneer. Contemporary stone water features can help create a calm and tranquil space for relaxing. Sit back and relax as you listen to the soothing sounds of trickling water from your brand-new stone water feature.

Excellent Focal Point

Want a simple focal point for your garden? Stone water features can be great for creating a space to congregate around. Watching water can be fun and relaxing, so you may like to position your outdoor seating for easy viewing of your new water feature. Friends and family may like to congregate around a water feature while catching up at a barbeque or having a chill Sunday afternoon. There are many different fountains you may like to choose for your water feature focal point, from Urns to Stacked Slate Walls, to Basalt Columns. This wide range of options means you’re sure to find a feature that suits the aesthetic you wish to have for your focal point.

As Simple or Elaborate as You Like

The large amount of choice available allows you to decide which type of stone water feature you would like, plus how simple or elaborate you would like your design to be. There are smaller designs through to much larger designs, and the option of having just one or multiple features grouped together. If you have a bigger space, you may like to select several water features to bring together for a more elaborate design, or incorporate a pond into your creation. Alternatively, if you have a smaller space, you may wish to have a simpler design with just the one fountain. There are plenty of ways you can make your water feature space beautiful, regardless of whether it is simple or elaborate.

Something for Everyone

When it comes to stone water features, there really is something for everyone! From a singular Small Stacked Slate Sphere through to an elaborate Natural Mongolian Basalt Columns 3-Pack that flows into a large pond or waterfall, there are countless options for water feature designs that you can create. Having a small space doesn’t mean you have to miss out on a stone water feature. These stunning pieces can be brought into smaller gardens for those who love the idea of flowing water but don’t have the space for a pond or larger waterfall. Stone water features can also be incorporated into larger spaces and tied in with either Recreation or Ecosystem ponds.

Some stone water features can be tricky to build and a little pricey, which is why the lightweight and durable Fiberstone Decorative Fountains from Aquascape can be a great, affordable alternative. With fiberstone fountains, you have a beautiful feature that resembles stone fountains, at a fraction of the cost.
