"VERY happy with Jacob who came to service our fountain pump and took the time to answer all my questions and educate me, give recommendations on winterization & increase my confidence in maintaining the fountain myself in the future (although I'm probably going to call him to do it!) He is very friendly and knowledgeable while being attentive to detail, demonstrating high quality of work (and I'm a stickler) all with fair pricing, too. Thank you, Jacob, I won't hesitate to call you again."

"Very knowledgeable and professional. They came to fix the issue the same day I submitted the request on Angie's List. The price for the project came in $100 under the original quote, as not as much work was needed as originally quoted."

FAQs for fountain service projects in Durham, NC

Installing an outdoor water fountain costs $2,700 on average, not including the cost of the unit. Prices range from $150 to $10,650, depending on your location, the type of fountain, size, and accessibility to the site. Self-contained fountains and water features recirculate the water within the unit. Depending on size and features like multi-tiered cascading bowls, they typically cost from $50 to $5,000. More elaborate fountains with waterfalls and ponds can cost from $450 to $10,000 or more.

Every one to three months, you should perform regular fountain maintenance, including draining, cleaning, and rinsing the components of your fountain basin and the pump and tubing to prevent algae and other buildup. Fountain maintenance also includes keeping the appropriate water level and removing debris like leaves, insects, and twigs from the water to avoid clogging the pump. You can also hire a professional landscaper to clean your fountain for around $50 to $150 per month on average.

Most water features do not use a lot of electricity, averaging between 100 and 250 watts per day. The size of the motor can impact electricity usage. To reduce electricity usage, consider using a timer to turn the fountain off at night and when you’re away from your home. Solar power is another way to defray electricity costs after you recoup the cost of installing the solar components.

You can choose several types of fountains to add to your backyard, ranging in size, number of basins, and special water features. 

Check out the price ranges of common fountain types:

  • Birdbath fountains: $40 to $1,100

  • Cascading fountains: $40 to $2,000

  • Tiered fountains: $100 to $6,000

  • Kugel fountains: $150 to $5,000

  • Glass wall fountains: $100 to $3,000
