7. The Natural “Grotto” Stone Fountain

If you have access to large, naturally shaped boulders, use one as the centerpiece of your fountain. Carve a small bowl into the top or use a core drill to feed water to the very top, letting it naturally run down the crevices and mossy surfaces of the stone. This looks like a natural spring that has appeared in your garden.

  • Pro Tip: Place the boulder in a shallow, pebble-lined pool, and plant shade-loving moss or ferns around the base to complete the “grotto” aesthetic.
