ADD CLASS AND VALUE TO YOUR PLACE WITH OUTDOOR SLATE WATERFALLS
Outdoor slate waterfalls and fountains are made of one of the many types of slate stone. Slate is a weather proof and rustic stone that is used to make many decorative objects for use in home and garden. Outdoor slate fountains are made of real stone and are much heavier than the cheaper lightweight alternatives. Outdoor slate stone waterfalls are usually meant to attract attention, perhaps even for a business. There are several types of custom slate fountains that can be made with your business logo down the front. The appearance is striking, the sound of rushing water is relaxing and the spectacle of running water makes everyone think of a beach party. (Even all those executives in suits).
Outdoor natural slate waterfalls can be contemporary in design with unique ornaments accommodating the waterfall, or may feature a more naturalistic setting, with rocks, plants and a simple stream. Slate waterfalls are available in many colors such as green, blue, gray or dark brown. Slate is a very durable stone and ages slowly. For this reason, it can withstand extreme temperatures both hot and cold.
Designs Of Slate Waterfalls
Slate stone is a soft stone that is easy to carve and custom design. Little surprise that skilled sculptors can form the stone into practically anything. Some traditional and contemporary designs include 5 tier fountains, pedestals, river stones, horizontal table fountains, and floor standing units. More natural designs look like a traditional waterfall with large and small rocks of uneven shapes cascading downward.
Lights and pumps are usually included with these waterfalls and the best models give you power over the activity, both the running water and the lighting. How much do these waterfalls cost? They can be pricey, but they’re not as expensive as you might think. Listed prices on line suggested that $100.00 to $500.00 was the norm for a small, quality piece. This is slate stone after all, which is real stone and a very beautiful one. (There are also imitation and faux slate options out there that also look great). If it’s real slate then the waterfall is heavy. A slate waterfall is a real work of art!
