Outdoor Fountains
A well-placed fountain changes the feel of an outdoor space.
It adds ambient sound, softens street noise, and gives a yard a focal point it didn't have before. Citiscapes designs and installs custom fountains built to hold up in Arizona's climate year-round.
How a fountain is installed: Installation starts with a concrete footing sized for the fountain's weight and water basin. Plumbing lines are run underground to the pump, and electrical is brought in for the pump and lighting. The fountain is set and leveled, the basin is sealed and tested, and the surrounding area is tied into the existing hardscape. In Phoenix, water evaporation rates and hard water mineral buildup are part of the setup conversation — every client gets guidance on what to expect and how to stay ahead of maintenance.
Citiscapes installs freestanding fountains, wall fountains, and custom water features for residential properties across Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Paradise Valley. We work with clients to find the right size, style, and placement — whether the goal is a dramatic courtyard focal point or a quieter feature tucked into the corner of a patio.
Fountains in Arizona need to be set up for the climate. Evaporation rates are high, especially in summer, which means water levels need regular monitoring and the pump needs protection from running dry. We use quality submersible pumps and configure the basin to hold adequate volume for local conditions.
Hard water is the other reality here.
Arizona tap water is mineral-heavy, and without basic maintenance, calcium buildup will clog a pump and stain stone surfaces over time. We review basic care with every client and recommend a routine that keeps things running cleanly year-round.
Paired with the right lighting and surrounding hardscape, a fountain becomes one of the most-noticed features in any backyard. Citiscapes has installed everything from modest courtyard pieces to large-scale custom water walls — and we've seen firsthand what the right water feature does to a space.
