To remove and prevent algae from growing in your fountain, you can use a tablet called “Fountain Block”. You should be able to find in your local home improvement store or nursery.
You can seal the top of the fountain to the basin if you have heavy winds in your area. You can use the sealant, Silicone II, which is sold at Lowes or Home Depot.
- Step 1) Level your fountain first.
- Step 2) Silicone the bottom of the top piece by tipping the fountain gently and then filling all the openings with silicone when you set the fountain down. Silicone II acts as an adhesive and has been proven to hold 800 lbs of water.
If the base leaks without a visible crack, please let the fountain sit for one week and the crack will appear white. This is to test that a crack exists. Always keep the water 3/4 full as it does evaporate! A pinhole leak can be covered up with Clear Silicone II on the inside of the piece.
- The pumps are submersible. Please keep pump completely submersed in water to prevent a pump “burn out”.
- To prevent the “burn out”, please keep the basin of the fountain 3/4 full of water. Filling it will depend how much you run the fountain and the location of it. Don’t forget water evaporates!
- To prevent dirt from getting into your pump, a suggestion would be to wrap the pump in a mesh screen.
- To fit our Model 2000 pump in the Cresere & Liveo Fountains, please remove the filter. Rubber Plug: When inserting the black rubber plug, please fill it up with plumbers putty for a secure fit.
If the water is repelling off the fountain, it is the sealer. You can remove it by wiping the sealant off with a damp terry cloth towel.
Although both our Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete and Cast Stone products are extremely durable proper maintenance is recommended to protect your product from the freeze-thaw cycles that occur in winter. Any piece which can hold water, snow or ice, such as a planter, fountain top or shell, and any piece which is placed directly on the ground surface, such as a statue, fountain base, planter or bench leg, can be damaged by the winter freeze-thaw cycles. To minimize any possible winter damage, please follow the simple suggestions listed below.
- We suggest that fountain tops not be left outside in the winter. Once the top fills with water/snow and freezes, the top may crack.
- All fountain bases, bench legs and statuary should be raised up off the ground in winter so they will not freeze to the ground surface.
- Ideally, a fountain should be stored indoors in the winter away from the elements. However, if a fountain bowl must be left outside, remove all pumps, rubber stoppers, drain pipes, finials and small components, and cover the top, making sure that water does not accumulate in the basin and freeze. Fountain pumps, finials, and other small components should be stored indoors.
- Check the fountain periodically to insure that the cover is secure and water is not accumulating in any fountain component.
Yard Art or any of our associated manufacturers can not be held responsible for damages to any product related to weather.
All of our brass fountains and garden statuary are made of solid brass.
We offer some of our products in two patinas: Verdigris(green-gray) and bronze. Each piece is individual and actual color may vary.
Because of the difficulty of working with solid brass and the finishing materials, we do not offer custom finishes.
Brass will not rust. Some of the smooth surfaces may loose some of the verdigris finish and turn a dark brown color. Any exposed surface where moisture can accumulate will turn more verdigris.
We like to think of these pieces as “heirlooms of tomorrow” since brass will not decay or rust, you will enjoy your fountain or garden sculpture for many, many years.
Yes! All of our pieces have been designed to enhance the beauty of your house inside and out.
Brass will not rust. Moisture on brass causes a chemical reaction that gives brass its verdigris patina. An outdoor setting will only enhance the finish of your piece.
Nothing. Moisture of any kind will add to the beauty of your piece.
Wipe off the water spots with a coarse cloth or by brushing the spots with a very soft brass-bristled brush. A Lint brush works very well. After you are done removing the water spots, you should apply a light coat of paste wax (Minwax, a furniture wax, works very well). Buff with a clean cloth.
Some additional fire pit options include : Lava Rock, Fire Glass, Lid, Cover, Propane Enclosure, Glass Surround, Electronic Ignition, Timer, Emergency Stop, Granite Top
Aluminum is an excellent choice for fire pits due to its combination of durability, lightweight nature, and corrosion resistance. They often feature sleek, minimalist designs that complement modern and contemporary outdoor spaces.
GFRC firepits are highly resistant to cracking, chipping, and weathering, making them a long-lasting investment for outdoor areas exposed to the elements.
Your firepit will include a burner, and all plumbing necessary to connect to your gas stub, or propane tank.
Yes—MAMAGREEN positions many collections for both luxury residential use and contract/hospitality environments, focusing on durability and repeat-use comfort.
Free shipping within the contiguous 48 states. Note that Alaska/Hawaii/international shipping requires contacting Yard Art.
A: Some teak furniture listings note a protective “teak shield” treatment. Always check the individual product details for the most accurate care guidance.
A: Natural materials and partial hand-finishing can introduce subtle variation (tone, grain, texture) and outdoor weathering over time—this is considered part of the furniture’s character.
A: Depending on the collection, you’ll see combinations of teak, powder-coated aluminum, stainless steel, HPL surfaces, and outdoor performance textiles/mesh designed for exterior use.
Many are made from polyethylene resin produced via rotational moulding.
Vondom highlights “design culture” and collaborations with internationally known designers to create distinctive collections.
Some planter models offer internal LED options including RGBW (remote-controlled) and DMX-controlled RGBW configurations, with optional battery versions on select items.
In the Faz planter line, Vondom states self-watering is included in all planters except those with a basic finish.
Yes—Vondom positions many items as “In & Out” and notes that numerous products are suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
The best material depends on your space and needs. Cast stone offers durability and classic style, while GFRC, metal, and fiberglass provide lighter options for modern and commercial applications.
Yes. High-quality outdoor planters are designed to withstand sun, rain, and seasonal temperature changes. Proper drainage and basic seasonal care help extend their lifespan.
Planter size should match the plant’s root system. Trees and large shrubs require deeper and wider planters, while smaller plants can thrive in more compact designs.
Commercial planters are typically larger and built for higher traffic areas, offering enhanced durability and long-term performance.
Yes—cast stone is designed for exterior conditions. For best results, ensure proper drainage and avoid standing water in freezing weather.
Yes, Yard Art’s cast stone planters come with drainage holes, unless you do not want them. If you would prefer no drain hole, then please contact us prior to ordering, and we will take care of it.
Weight adds stability—especially important for windy locations, public spaces, and larger plantings. It also gives the planter a permanent, high-end feel.
A patina is a hand-applied finish that creates tone and depth, often resembling natural stone. Subtle variation is normal and adds to the authentic look. Our cast stone planters have 15 applied patinas, and natural(no applied patina).
Urns and tapered planters are most popular for entryways because they add height and symmetry. Bowls work well when you want a lower, wider profile.
Corten steel offers a distinctive weathered look, high strength, and lower maintenance than ordinary steel because it develops a stable rust-like patina that helps protect the metal underneath from further atmospheric corrosion. It is popular for modern landscapes because it combines durability with a natural architectural finish that changes over time. The main drawbacks are that it can produce rust runoff during the early weathering stage, it may stain adjacent surfaces, and it performs less well in consistently wet or high-chloride environments such as marine settings or areas exposed to salt. The corten steel planters you get from Yard Art are pre-weathered. They will have a consistent sheen of rust across the entire outside of the planter.
Corten steel planters are built for long-term outdoor use and can last for decades in the right conditions. Their weathered patina helps protect the steel beneath, making them a durable, low-maintenance option for patios, gardens, and commercial landscapes. SSAB
Yes, corten steel planters are generally a very good choice for outdoor use if you want a durable, modern planter with a natural rusted finish. They are especially well suited to contemporary landscapes because the patina protects the surface while adding visual character. They are best for buyers who like an evolving finish and do not mind some early rust runoff as the patina develops.
