Aquascape Fountainscape™. A smarter garden fountain.

When you want the sound of water, without the pond

An Aquascape Fountainscape™ is a garden fountain with underground water storage. No open water surface. Water is pumped up through a stone piece, drains between the stones, and collects in a hidden reservoir below ground. Then the cycle repeats.

The reservoir can also be tied into a Rainwater Harvesting System™ and store rainwater that would otherwise be lost.

No pond. No risk for small children. Just the sound.

Six fountains. Three styles.

Urn, sphere, or spillway: pick one, or combine several. All models are built with the Aquascape Fountainscape™ system and underground AquaBlox reservoir.

Urns

Stacked Slate Urn and Pouring Urn: classic form that bubbles from the top and trickles down the sides. Suits modern and traditional gardens alike.

Sphere

Bubbling Stone Sphere: a stacked slate orb where water flows evenly across the entire surface. Sculptural and subtle.

Column

Basalt Column Fountain: genuine Mongolian basalt columns (or fibreglass variants) with water bubbling up through the natural stone structure.

Spillway

Stacked Slate Spillway and Spillway Bowl: water cascading evenly across a broad surface. Dramatic centrepiece with LED lighting behind the waterfall.

Two add-ons transform the fountain after dark:

Fire from stone

Gas-fed flame on top of the Bubbling Stone Sphere. Heat, light and movement in one place.

Integrated lighting

LED fixtures are mounted in the reservoir and light the water from below. Warm glow, low power draw.

The Blue Mind Effect

The meditative calm that descends by 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

You no longer need to move to the stream.

Questions & Answers

What is an Aquascape Fountainscape™?

A low-maintenance fountain with a hidden underground reservoir — no open water surface. Water circulates silently below the stones, giving you the sound and motion of water without a visible surface.

How much does a garden fountain cost?

Price depends on model and quantity. Our models start at SEK 43,000. Configure quantity and add-ons on our pricing page for a live total.

Does the fountain need a pond or permit?

No. The reservoir sits below the surface and is not a 'pond' in the legal sense. No permit needed under 50 cm depth.

Will it survive a Swedish winter?

Yes. We drain and winterise the system in autumn. The stone pieces stay outside year-round.

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.
