Natural Stone Fountains

Our boulder fountains are crafted to a high standard using state-of-the-art technology. After initial processing with our 5-axis milling machine, the fountains undergo a high-quality surface finishing process using a robotic milling machine specially designed for our workshop. To give the finished product its ultimate perfection, each fountain is then fitted with a handcrafted faucet, individually designed for the fountain.

Using these cutting-edge methods, we can guarantee a vast selection of natural stone fountains. Our range is complemented by antique fountains, each with its own unique story to tell.

The first step is to straighten the stone base. The fountain basin will be carefully drilled out with a hollow boring machine. The depth of the fountain basin results depending on the height of the stone. We try to drill out the stone as deep as possible so that the finished fountain reaches the maximum capacity.

The next step is to mill out the basin using a 5-axis milling machine. This cutter is programmed so that the interior of the basin is analogous to the slope of the outer line of the stone - this maximizes the capacity. It also makes the shape of the fountain appear more harmonious and soft.
Our stonemason finely finishes the fountain by hand. He stakes the inner wall and the bottom of the fountain with fine and coarser stone working tools; he drills the drain and sets the faucet.
The drain is then glued into the well bottom, which is flush with it and it usually has a ¾ inch female thread as connection.
The appearance of the water inlet plays a very important role.

All our fountains can be operated with fresh water or with a recirculating pump. If the fountain is operated with fresh water, a custom-made overflow pipe will be manufactured. For the recirculating system, a pump and a filter are included. You only need to provide the electricity for the pump.

We will gladly deliver your chosen fountain to your home using our own truck with a crane. This ensures easy positioning of your fountain in your garden. We recommend a foundation beneath the fountain to prevent it from sinking under the weight of the stone. We organize group deliveries several times a year, typically delivering between 12 and 15 fountains per trip.

Thanks to our wide selection and variety of products, we have many satisfied customers who return time and again.

Natural stone fountains that use fresh water require no special maintenance. If your fountain has a circulating pump, the water should be changed regularly; this will ensure you can enjoy it for many years. If algae do form, the fountain can be cleaned with a steam cleaner and brush. We also offer additives that prevent algae and limescale buildup.

Before the onset of winter, the fountain and all accessories should be protected from frost. There should be no standing water in the fountain basin at the first sign of frost, and the tap and pump must also be drained.

We source the stones for our unique boulder fountains throughout South Tyrol. Whether in the mountains, valleys, or rivers, Thomas and Hannes Gasser have a trained eye for nature's beautiful and special wonders.

With a bit of luck, we can purchase the stones from their respective owners and have them recovered and delivered to us by specialized companies. This alone makes each of our boulder fountains truly special and gives them their own unique story.
