Portwenn Fountain
The Portwenn Fountain is a classic outdoor water feature designed to bring serene movement and timeless elegance to gardens, patios, courtyards, and landscaped settings. Its balanced, two-tier form creates a gentle flow of water that rises from a raised spout and trickles into the larger basin below, producing a soothing water sound with minimal splash and a relaxed, ambient presence. The refined sculptural details, including a subtly textured pedestal and ornamental trim, evoke traditional garden motifs that blend beautifully with both formal and casual landscape designs.
Crafted from rugged cast stone concrete, this fountain offers durability and outdoor performance that stand up to weathering while retaining visual appeal. The finish is hand-applied, giving each piece its own unique character as it naturally weathers over time in outdoor environments. Because the fountain includes a recirculating pump, installation is straightforward and does not require permanent plumbing. Simply position it on a stable surface and connect to a standard outdoor outlet.
The Portwenn Fountain’s quiet trickling water adds a sense of calm to outdoor spaces without drawing overwhelming attention, making it well suited for placement near seating areas, entryways, or alongside garden walkways where subtle sensory detail enhances the environment. Its classic silhouette and thoughtful proportions provide a focal point that enriches outdoor décor while supporting wildlife activity, as birds and pollinators are often attracted to the water’s movement.
Care & Maintenance:
- Placement: Place the fountain on a flat, stable outdoor surface such as stone pavers, concrete, or firm soil to ensure it sits securely and level.
- Watering: Fill the basin with fresh, clean water before use. Maintain the water level so the pump remains fully submerged and water flow continues smoothly.
- Cleaning: Periodically drain and rinse the fountain with clean water. Use a soft cloth or sponge to remove debris, algae, or mineral buildup. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive tools that could damage the cast stone surface.
- Winter Care: Before freezing temperatures arrive, drain all water from the fountain to prevent freeze-thaw damage. Remove and store the pump indoors if possible. If the fountain must remain outdoors, elevate slightly and cover securely with a waterproof cover to reduce moisture and ice exposure.
