Triple Hollowed-Out Basalt Fountain Kits are a Naturally Appealing Lawn Garden Feature

Introducing our unique collection of basalt fountains that can add a soothing sound of running water to your garden, regardless of its size. Our basalt fountains are becoming increasingly popular among homeowners who want to enhance the appeal of their garden space. Typically sold in sets of three of varying heights, these fountains can create beautiful focal points, even when sold as a single column. Our 5-column sets are designed to capture the essence of natural earth protrusions, making them a perfect fit if you are looking for an impressive garden sculpture.

What are Basalt Columns?

Basalt is a volcanic rock and one of the most common types of rock in the world. Although it is common, it is rare to find the long solid columns of basalt that we make into our fountains. Basalt is a dense crystalline material, about 10% heavier than granite. The skin or crust on the outside of the columns will have a patina that ranges from beige to red to black and will often contain a variety of colors. The inside of a basalt column is black and polishes up to a rich luster, which is visible on the polished portions of our fountains. 

Why Choose a Blue Thumb Basalt Fountain Kit?

We work directly with quarries worldwide to supply only the highest quality columns to be used as basalt fountains.

The reservoir/basin needs to be of the right thickness and be supportive enough to hold the weight of these dense columns and not cave over time. Our AquaBox® Basins are the best choice when installing a basalt column fountain kit. We match the fountain size(s) with the perfect basin, pump size, and all necessary plumbing. The only thing you need to figure out is the fountain placement that gives the best viewing in your chosen location.
