Exterior Wall Fountains: The Many Styles Available If you want to have a place to relax as well as add some pizzazz to a small area such as a patio or courtyard, wall fountains are perfect because they do not take up much space.
The two types of water features available to you are mounted and freestanding models. Small, self-contained models can be placed on a wall are known as mounted wall fountains. Fountains of this type need to be lightweight, therefore, they are typically fabricated from resin (resembling stone) or fiberglass. In large stand-alone fountains, otherwise known as wall fountains, the basin is set on the ground with the flat side positioned against a wall. Typically made of cast stone, these water features have no weight restrictions.
Landscape professionals often propose a customized fountain for a brand new or existing wall. Placing the basin against the wall and installing all the plumbing work requires a professional mason to do it correctly. The wall will need to have a spout or fountain mask built into it. Custom-built wall fountains lend to a unified look because they become part of the landscape rather than look like a later addition.
