My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Boulder fountain

12 years ago
Hello! Was this a boulder you had that you cut a hole through to use in this fountain?

    Yes - that is exactly how this feature is made. There is an underground reservoir with a heavy duty top and cinder block supports used to hold up the weight of the boulder and river rocks.

    Did you use a particular kind of stone to make this? Also, do you remember the size of the rock? I am looking to duplicate this look in my own backyard. Thank you!
