We specialise in finding and delivering the right stone for your garden.
This sculptural stone water feature embodies the quiet strength and natural harmony central to traditional Japanese garden design. Formed from a single, organically shaped boulder, its softly weathered surface reveals subtle variations in tone and texture, celebrating the beauty of age and imperfection.
Water gently rises from the crown of the stone and flows downward into a calm, circular pond below, creating a soothing, continuous sound that enhances the contemplative atmosphere of the garden. Set within a formal round pond, the stone becomes a focal point of stillness and movement, reflecting the Japanese aesthetic principle of ma—the balance between form, space, and silence.
Ideal for placement in Zen gardens, courtyard landscapes, or beside winding paths, this feature evokes the spirit of mountain springs and sacred stones found in classical Japanese gardens. Over time, natural weathering and moss growth will further enrich its character, allowing the piece to integrate seamlessly into its surroundings.
