Concrete Fountains in San Fernando, CA
WHAT WE DO
Cast fountain basins usually leak at cold joints and pipe penetrations rather than through solid walls, so waterstops go at those spots, and a waterproofing admixture or coating goes into the shell itself. INFINITE CONCRETE CREATIONS, INC.
casts concrete fountains in San Fernando, CA, with reinforced basins, waterproofed shells, and plumbing sleeves and pump niches planned right into the pour, then finishes each piece with color, texture, and a protective sealer. We are a family-owned team of decorative concrete specialists.
WHERE WE CAST
Water Features for a Region of Long Dry Summers
With roughly 17 inches of rain a year and cloudless summers, water features in this corner of Southern California lose a steady share to evaporation, which makes a tight, well-sealed basin worth the effort. We set every fountain level on a compacted base or footing so water sheets evenly over each edge. Estate gardens in San Marino, CA, lean toward classic tiered pieces on axis with a path, courtyards in Pasadena, CA, suit wall fountains, and entries in Beverly Hills, CA, often feature a reflecting basin near the front door.
Fountain Styles We Cast and Set
Every style moves water differently, so the choice affects the sound, the splash zone, and the footprint, and we help you match the right form to your yard, courtyard, or entry before any casting starts.
01
Tiered Pedestal Fountains
Two or three bowls stack on a central column, with water spilling from each tier into the next. We level every bowl precisely, since a slight tilt sends the flow off one side, and sleeve the hollow column for the supply line.
02
Wall-Mounted Fountains
Spouts, scuppers, or carved masks on a vertical face drop water into a basin below. The wall can be a freestanding cast panel or an existing garden wall, with the return line's sleeve cast inside so only the water and finish show.
03
Reflecting Basin Fountains
Shallow, still pools mirror the sky, trees, and architecture around them, with gentle bubblers or low jets adding quiet movement. A darker interior color makes the water look deeper, and a crisp, level rim keeps the surface perfectly flat.
04
Spillway Fountains
Water pours over a formed lip from an upper basin into a lower one, creating a smooth sheet or a lively curtain. Getting that sheet even depends on a truly straight spill edge, which we form and finish with extra care.
05
Cast Bowl Fountains
One large bowl set on a plinth fills to the brim and overflows all around its rim into a concealed reservoir. This minimal style suits modern landscapes, and the bowl can be cast in smooth, sandblasted, or exposed-aggregate finishes.
06
Bubbling Column Fountains
Cored columns, spheres, or boulder shapes push water up through the top so it glides down the sides into a gravel-covered reservoir. With no open pool, this style fits small patios, side yards, and homes where children play nearby.
TESTIMONIALS
What Our Customers Say
Choices That Shape How Your Fountain Looks and Sounds
Beyond the basic style, a handful of design decisions determine whether a fountain feels calm or lively, formal or relaxed, and how naturally it settles into the hardscape and planting already on your property.
01
Water Sound and Movement
Thin sheets whisper, trickles murmur, and a falling spout splashes loudly enough to mask street noise. We match flow height and drop distance to the mood you want, whether that is background calm near a bedroom window or energy at the entry.
02
Basin Shape and Depth
Round, square, octagonal, and freeform basins each change the feel of a space. Depth matters as well, since the water has to cover the pump intake and absorb splash while staying shallow enough to feel safe and approachable.
03
Finish and Color
Integral pigment, acid stain, smooth-troweled surfaces, sandblasted texture, and exposed aggregate all work in fountain concrete. Many clients match the basin to nearby stamped or colored paving, while others choose a contrasting tone that makes the fountain stand out.
04
Rim and Edge Profile
Rounded bullnose, square, and chamfered edges create very different looks, and a wide rim can double as a perch for sitting. On spillways, a sharp knife edge produces the cleanest sheet of falling water across the full width.
05
Scale and Placement
Size the fountain to the space and to where people will see it from, such as a kitchen window, a patio chair, or the front walk. Good placement also leaves room to reach the pump vault without disturbing plants or paving later.
06
Freestanding or Built-In
Some fountains stand alone as a centerpiece, while others tie directly into a patio, planter, or courtyard wall. Built-in designs share materials with the surrounding hardscape, which makes the water feature look planned from the start rather than added later.
WHO WE ARE
Water Stays Where You Want It
Nobody wants a fountain that leaks, splashes the patio, or runs unevenly, and no finish can hide those flaws. We plan the waterproofing, sleeve locations, and spill edges before we build a single form, then cast and seal the basin with that plan in hand. Our licensed and insured team gives the sculptural side equal care, shaping bowls, tiers, and spouts to suit your architecture, from a home garden to a commercial plaza. Describe your space on our estimate request form so we can design the fountain around it.

FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
How do you keep a concrete fountain from leaking?
Leak prevention starts in the mix and continues at the joints. Waterproofing admixtures or basin coatings seal the concrete itself, while waterstops at cold joints and around pipe penetrations close the paths water most often finds through a cast shell.
Do concrete fountains need to be sealed?
Yes. Concrete is porous, so a sealer slows water absorption, mineral staining, and algae growth on the surface. Most fountain sealers need reapplication every 2 to 3 years, and the submerged interior of a basin sees the hardest exposure.
Does an outdoor fountain need a recirculating pump?
In Los Angeles, a decorative fountain may only be filled or topped off if the water is part of a recirculating system. A pump pulls water from the basin and sends it back through the spout, reusing the same supply continuously.
How do you level a tiered fountain?
Leveling begins with a firm, compacted base or concrete pad, then each tier is checked with a level as it is stacked. Even water flow over every bowl edge is the final test, and small corrections happen before the joints are set.
Can a concrete fountain sit on a sloped yard?
It can. We cut a level pad or footing into stable ground, and at INFINITE CONCRETE CREATIONS, INC. we can use a hillside's natural fall around San Fernando, CA, to create cascading spillways that step down the grade from basin to basin.
How deep should a fountain basin be?
Basin depth depends on the pump and the style. The water needs to cover the intake and hold enough volume that the level does not drop noticeably while the fountain runs, yet many homeowners with young children keep basins shallow.
Is concrete better than resin or fiberglass for a fountain?
For permanence and weight, concrete usually wins. Here at INFINITE CONCRETE CREATIONS, INC. in San Fernando, CA, we prefer cast concrete because it resists wind and tipping, takes custom colors and textures, and can be shaped to fit any space.
What causes white buildup on a concrete fountain?
White crust usually comes from minerals left behind as water evaporates, or from efflorescence, where salts migrate out of the concrete. Topping off with fresh water, sealing the surface, and gentle cleaning with a soft brush keep deposits under control.
