Default Fountain outside lanai

Am interested in installing a fountain outside our lanai. What are the best sources in the TV area? Would appreciate any suggestions on this topic. Thanks.

The new nursery on 462 (south of 301 I believe) just received a new shipment of fountains. They had some beautiful ones and I imagine all prices ranges. Village Palms and Fairfield Farms also carry them. Would love to find someplace that has them priced a little better.

Home Depot on 441 has a large selection of fountains in all price ranges.

Here is our fountain from Lowes. Sweetie leveled out the ground beneath it and got some of those paving squares you can buy at Home Depot or Lowes and put under it. I think he paid about three hundred dollars for it.

It was my Mother's day gift last year and I am not even Sweetie's mother!

Hayneedle.com is one source to consider. Or Simplyfountains.com if you like. It is a Hayneedle store.


I purchased a fountain (for a previous home) from this website, after seeing it in a store. Good experience. Good price. Free shipping too.

If you have a neighbor very close to where you are going to put the fountain please check the noise level of the motor. That situation has caused quite a tadoo on our street between some neighbors. Pump noise on a large fountain can sound like a washing machine.

Has anyone had luck with a solar fountain - have been looking at them online, but wondering if they have what it takes to circulate the water.

Default a great source

Village Palms, on CR 466 just west of Rolling Acres Rd. has lovely fountains, and at fair prices. In addition they deal with several fountain studios who will offer fountains in many different finishes. VP has catalogues and will provide you with individual attention to get whatever water feature is appropriate for your location.
