Low-maintenance garden fountain
The garden fountain without an open water surface. Installed by Sweden's AQUASCAPE™ Team. Anywhere in Europe.
Smarter garden fountains
Unlike a regular garden fountain, AQUASCAPE FOUNTAINSCAPE stores the water underground.
But this fountain has other advantages too:
Automatic refilling — The system connects to rainwater collection.
Frost-proof — The reservoir and pump are winterised.
Space-efficient — The tall, compact design fits almost anywhere.
The world's most used system for natural water features.
Six fountains. Four styles.
Urns — Stacked Slate Urn, Pouring Urn.
Spheres — Bubbling Stone Sphere.
Columns — Basalt Column Fountain, Faux Basalt Column (Set of 3), Faux Basalt Column (Set of 5).
Spillways — Stacked Slate Spillway, Spillway Bowl.
A different fountain after dark
Two add-ons transform the fountain after dark:
Fire from stone
A gas-fed flame creates a dramatic contrast against the fountain.
Integrated lighting
Energy-efficient LED fixtures are mounted in the reservoir and light the water from below in your chosen colour.
The Blue Mind Effect
The meditative calm that emerges near natural waterways was named the Blue Mind Effect by its discoverer, Dr. Wallace J. Nichols.
"When you see water, when you hear water, it triggers a response in your brain that you're in the right place." — Dr. Wallace J. Nichols
But now you don't need to move to the water.

Questions & Answers
What is an Aquascape Fountainscape?
A low-maintenance fountain with a hidden underground reservoir system, no open water surface. Water circulates silently below the stones, giving you the sound and motion of water without a visible surface.
Does the fountain need a pond or permit?
No, a garden fountain normally requires neither a building permit nor a notification. If the ground level changes by more than 50 cm, a grading permit may be required for the earthworks — but that applies to the excavation, not the fountain itself. Check with your municipality if unsure.
Can the fountain be connected to a pond?
Yes. A fountain-to-pond upgrade is a common next step: the same circulation and stone aesthetic, but with a living water surface. See our garden pond.
Will it survive a Swedish winter?
Yes, we frost-proof the system for your zone.
How much maintenance does it need?
Very little. Top-up the water about once a month during summer. Flush the pump once a year. No chemicals, no water tests.
Is the fountain safe for children and pets?
Yes. Because the reservoir is hidden beneath stones, there is no open water surface to fall into.
