Limestone Fountains - A European Look
Have you ever taken a look at limestone fountains?
These garden fountains are available in all types of finishes, whether looking for a smaller ornamental type or one that will make a huge statement.
Bronze fountains can be found all over the internet. To be honest, just type in "bronze fountains", and you will see what I mean. Limestone fountains are different. They have a different kind of beauty with a European look. Here are two landscape fountains I considered using for a very large project I am working on that you might consider. These are large garden fountains. They would be appropriate to sue in a central, formal pool in a driveway courtyard. They could also be used as a focal point in an open lawn area, or even on a huge patio. You will have to go through a landscape designer or contractor to purchase as the companies that offer them do not sell retail. The fountains from both companies below are made from limestone with some additional sand and cement for durability. They do need some care, such as sealants.However, their beauty lies in the traditional simplicity and the loveliness of the limestone material. Haddonstone Fountain The name of this fountain is the Double Lotus Fountain. It is 5'6" high. The upper bowl has a diameter of 31 ½ inches, while the lower bowl is 47 ¼ inches wide. The base is 13 13/16 inches. The surface texture resembles portland stone. Depending on what climate you live in, certain maintenance might be advisable. For example, in cold climates, limestone fountains should be drained. This garden fountain weathers naturally and gracefully over time.
Longshadow Fountain This fountain is called the Renaissance Fountain with Square Plinth. It is 6' high and the lower bowl is 43" in diameter. The tricking water is lovely and can be adjusted for a softer or heavier flow. There is an optional pineapple bubbler which can be added to the top bowl for even extra water flow. Both of these fountains need something to capture the falling water, and pool surrounds are the most logical choice. They are sold separately.
