Know before you buy
This product includes the handcrafted GFRC rock only. You will need to purchase a compatible pump, tubing, and a water basin separately to complete the fountain setup.
While GFRC is lighter than natural stone, it still has significant weight. Once the basin is filled with water and the rock is positioned, it remains stable in most outdoor environments.
Consider the scale of your landscape. The short rock is ideal for smaller garden beds or patio corners, while the tall version serves as a more dramatic focal point for larger open spaces.
Because it is made from Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete, it is quite durable. You may occasionally need to rinse it with water to remove debris, but it does not require the specialized sealing that natural porous stone often needs.
The Watershed Rock is designed for easy placement. Since it is lighter than a real boulder, most homeowners can position it themselves, though you will need to follow standard plumbing instructions for the pump and basin installation.
