Decorative Fountain Installation

Outdoor Fountains for Rhode Island, Eastern Connecticut & Southern Massachusetts

Want the sound of moving water without the upkeep of a pond? A decorative fountain gives you that in a single day’s install. Water bubbles up through an urn, stone column or bowl, spills over the sides and disappears into a hidden basin underground, where it’s pumped back up again. There’s no open water, no fish to care for, and nothing for kids or pets to fall into. Fountains start at $3,995, installed.

How a Decorative Fountain Works

Every fountain we install has three parts: the decorative piece you see, a buried basin that holds the water, and a small pump inside that basin. The water recirculates, so a fountain uses very little — mostly what evaporates on hot days. You’ll top it off with a hose every week or two in midsummer.

Because the water lives underground, a fountain stays cleaner than a birdbath and doesn’t need a pond’s filtration, plants or fish. It needs one outdoor electrical outlet (GFCI) within reach. If you don’t have one, we’ll tell you up front and include it in the quote.

Is a Fountain Right for You? The Honest Pros and Cons

Why people love them:

Fits anywhere — a patio corner, an entryway, a small backyard
Safe around children and pets: no standing water
Very little maintenance compared to a pond
Attracts birds, and the sound masks road and neighbor noise
Installed in about a day for most single fountains

What to know before you buy:

You need power nearby; adding an outlet adds cost
In New England, fountains are shut down and drained for winter to prevent freeze damage to the vessel and pump. We offer winter shutdown as a service each fall, or we’ll show you how to do it yourself.
A fountain gives you sound and movement, not a full water garden. If you want fish and plants, look at a koi pond. If you want a bigger waterfall with no pond, look at a pondless waterfall.

Popular Fountain Styles

Bubbling urns and vases — glazed ceramic in a range of colors; the most popular choice for patios
Basalt columns — natural stone with water bubbling from the top; one, two or three columns grouped together
Spillway bowls — water cascades from bowl to bowl for a stronger sound
Natural boulder fountains — drilled stone that blends into a garden bed
Custom arrangements — multiple pieces, lighting and planting around the fountain

Want to see them before you decide? Our Portsmouth store has display fountains set up and running, and we stock nearly the full Aquascape product line, so you can see and hear the actual pieces we install.

Not Sure Which Fountain Fits Your Space?

Send us a photo of the spot you have in mind. We’ll suggest two or three styles that suit it and give you a price range before we ever set foot on your property.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Pet photos with Santa are my favorite annual holiday tradition, and Domina’s Agway is always our go-to. We love coming here every year for this event. The store is beautifully decorated with stunning trees, wreaths, and holiday décor, and it’s always fun browsing everything else along the way (including turtles and fish!).

Thank you for another wonderful event and for the treats for all. We’ll definitely be back soon to pick up more dog toys!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Domina’s Agway has kept my ponds looking great year-round. It’s nice to know when I am not there that they are being cared for so well. And when I am there, I can enjoy them rather than having to work too. And Monika is always quick to follow up with me when I do not respond to make sure all is set. Customer Service is first class.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are beginner gardeners and the staff was extremely helpful, attentive, and encouraging of our new hobby.  Bring the kids along, as there are fish and turtle ponds.  This is the kind of place I would have brought my kids when they were toddlers, had I known about it then!
