Fountain Builds

Every fountain starts as a pile of panels.

Each large fountain is cast in sections in the shop, hauled to the site, and assembled in place: footing, walls, floor, plumbing, pump, and finish. Here is how a few of them came together.

Driveway centerpiece

The Chateau

A round paneled basin built from cast wall panels, set in the center of a driveway circle. Panels braced, floor laid and poured over rebar, plumbing stubbed in, then finished in a warm cream with a dark cap and a stacked stone ring.

French village style

The Bastide

A custom French village style fountain, an octagonal basin around a center pillar with copper taps. Every panel cast in the shop, cured, hauled to the site, and assembled in place before the first fill.
