TRIPLE BASALT COLUMNS
Our June Garden includes four water features, the first of which is this handsome Triple Basalt Fountain. Being a dense, igneous rock created by lava flows, basalt provides an extremely resilient centerpiece that doesn’t require special winter care. These pre-drilled columns can be used to build single, double or triple action fountains that need little upkeep.

The garden’s second water feature is a one-of-a-kind boulder fountain created by local sculptor, Doug Campbell. The flagstone patio with baby mondo grass joints provides a perfect space to sit and enjoy the cooling sound of water.

Around the corner, tucked against the house, lies the third water feature — a lovely water garden, home to many vibrant koi.

The final water feature is a striking Charleston fountain that sits besides the front door in a graceful, welcoming fashion.

Connecting all these water wonders are artistic stone pathways that wind around this lush corner lot.
