Granite is a timeless, durable material that is perfect for outdoor fountains. Learn more about granite and explore some beautiful fountain designs:
Granite is one of the most popular stone types for a reason. Granite is one of the hardest, densest natural stone varieties. Regardless of the conditions your granite fountain endures over many years, it is sure to stand the test of time. Granite is an ideal material for your fountain if you live in a colder, northern climate or an area with a freeze/thaw cycle.
Other fountain materials, like cast stone, can’t match the unique, natural beauty of granite. Each granite variety and piece has its own unique veining, pattern and texture, which makes it one-of-a-kind. Take a look at some granite fountain designs:
