All about European water features
Picture this: driving up to your home with a gorgeously pebbled circular drive, featuring a stunning zinc fountain in the middle as a centrepiece. With this traditional British approach to landscape design, you can’t go wrong – especially as you could consider yourself among the likes of the loveliest manors in Sussex and Oxfordshire.
Whether you opt for this classic approach or a more innovative landscape design, choosing the perfect fountain and deciding where to place it within your garden is an important decision.
Originating in Mannerist gardens, ‘giochi d’acqua’ (Italian for ‘water games’) celebrated the hydraulic innovation of the Renaissance and developed a classic symbol for abundance and prosperity, which still stands today. By placing a pool or outdoor water feature within your garden, you can bring a touch of style and class to your very own backyard.
Stunning birdbaths for your Melbourne space

Our copper birdbaths are excellent for those seeking a low-maintenance approach, especially due to their natural anti-bacterial and self-cleaning properties. The metallic finish also attracts our native fauna, who find the glimmering beams of reflected sunlight quite alluring. Fun fact: this is one of the reasons why American pennies were originally placed in fountains.
