Frequently Asked Landscape Fountain Questions
What types of Landscape Fountains do you install?
We install a variety of landscape fountains, including classic tiered fountains, modern bubbling urns, basalt columns, and custom fountainscapes. The key commonality is that they are designed as a self-contained, low-maintenance unit, often utilizing an underground basin (similar to a pondless waterfall) to recirculate the water, making them an excellent choice for a formal or garden setting.
How is a Landscape Fountain maintained compared to a full pond?
A landscape fountain requires significantly less maintenance than a full pond. Maintenance primarily involves adding water to compensate for evaporation, occasionally cleaning debris from the pump, and adding a safe, proprietary water treatment to prevent algae buildup. There is no large-scale spring clean-out required, making them an ideal low-commitment water feature.
Do I need to winterize my fountain in Omaha, NE?
Yes, professional winterization is essential in the Omaha metro area due to freezing temperatures. This involves draining the basin, removing and safely storing the pump to prevent freezing damage, and ensuring that any exposed fountain components are covered or drained to avoid cracking from ice expansion.
Can I add an automatic water filling system to my fountain?
Absolutely. We highly recommend installing an automatic water-fill (or auto-fill) system. This system uses a float valve connected to a water line to automatically replenish water lost to evaporation, ensuring your fountain never runs dry and significantly reducing the time you spend on manual upkeep.
How much space is required for a Landscape Fountain installation?
Landscape fountains are incredibly versatile and space-efficient. Unlike a full pond, they do not require a large excavation. Many bubbling rock or column features can be installed in an area as small as 4 to 6 feet in diameter, making them perfect for courtyards, entryways, or small patio spaces.
Are your fountains installed with special lighting for nighttime viewing?
Yes, we specialize in custom outdoor lighting for all water features. The Groundskeeper division designs and installs energy-efficient LED up-lighting and underwater accent lights that highlight the texture of the stone and the movement of the water, creating a stunning and dramatic focal point at night.
What makes a fountain "disappearing" or "pondless"?
A “disappearing” or “pondless” fountain is one where the water feature appears to emerge from the ground and then drains into a reservoir that is completely covered and concealed by rock or gravel. This design eliminates the need for an open pond, which improves safety and drastically reduces the surface area for debris to collect.
How loud is the water flow, and can it be adjusted?
The acoustic impact of the fountain can be highly customized to your preference. The sound level depends on the height of the falls and the flow rate of the pump. We can adjust the pump flow to create anything from a gentle trickle to a more powerful, continuous cascade, allowing you to choose the perfect, tranquil soundscape for your outdoor space.
