Our CNC-crafted stone water features blend natural beauty with precision design. From fountains and waterfalls to decorative pools, each piece is carved from premium marble, granite, or sandstone using advanced CNC stone carving technology.

These elegant features bring movement, sound, and serenity to gardens, courtyards, and interiors—while adding a touch of timeless luxury. With customizable styles ranging from modern minimalism to classical detailing, our stone water features are both artistic and enduring.

Water has an unmatched ability to transform a space — bringing movement, sound, and a sense of calm that no static element can replicate. At Stone & Metal, we design and fabricate bespoke stone water features and landscape elements that integrate seamlessly into gardens, courtyards, lobbies, terraces, and commercial spaces across Chennai.

Using advanced CNC stone carving technology combined with skilled hand craftsmanship, we work with premium granite, marble, sandstone, and Kota stone to create fountains, water walls, cascading pools, and decorative landscape features that are both artistically stunning and engineered to last. Every piece is custom-designed — shaped by your space, your aesthetic, and your vision.

Our Stone Water Feature Range

Stone Water Walls Sleek vertical water walls where water sheets or trickles over carved or polished stone surfaces. A dramatic focal point for entrance lobbies, reception areas, courtyards, and garden boundary walls. Available in modern minimalist and classical carved styles.

Stone Fountains Tiered, single-spout, bowl, or column-style fountains carved from granite, marble, or sandstone. Suitable for garden centrepieces, villa driveways, hotel entrances, and heritage-style courtyards. Fully custom-designed to scale.

Cascading Water Steps & Rill Channels Water flowing down stepped stone platforms or narrow carved channels — a landscape design technique that creates gentle sound and movement along pathways, garden terraces, and poolside settings.

Decorative Pools & Reflecting Pools Shallow decorative pools with stone-clad interiors, carved stone edging, and optional sculptural centrepieces. Used in courtyards, lobbies, and formal garden settings to create depth and serenity.

Wall-Mounted Water Spouts & Sconces Stone spout elements mounted to walls, with water flowing into a basin or trough below. Inspired by traditional Indian, Mediterranean, and Mughal garden aesthetics — reinterpreted in contemporary or classical styles.

Indoor Water Features Compact and climate-appropriate water features designed for interior use — in living rooms, office receptions, hotel lobbies, spa waiting areas, and meditation spaces. Designed with sealed plumbing and silent pump systems.

Landscape Stone Elements Beyond water features, we design and fabricate complementary landscape elements including carved stone benches, boulder arrangements, engraved garden stones, stone pathways, edging strips, and decorative planters that complete the landscape composition.

Stones Chosen for Beauty and Durability

Every stone water feature must perform in continuous contact with water, humidity, and outdoor conditions. We select materials accordingly:

• Granite — The most durable option for outdoor water features. Resistant to water absorption, moss, and staining. Available in black, grey, red, and multicolour varieties.
• Marble — Luxurious and smooth, best suited for indoor water features and sheltered outdoor settings. White Makrana, Carrara-style, and Indian marbles used.
• Sandstone — Porous and warm-toned, ideal for traditional and rustic landscape aesthetics. Treated with sealant for water resistance.
• Kota Stone — A dense, fine-grained stone excellent for water channels, pool edging, and step risers.
• Black Kadappa — Deep charcoal stone used for sleek, contemporary water walls and minimalist fountain basins.
• Limestone — Soft and workable, suited for classical carving on sheltered feature pieces.
• Natural Boulders — Locally sourced or selected boulders shaped and hollowed for naturalistic fountain and garden compositions.

Design Styles We Work In

We adapt to your architectural language and landscape aesthetic:

• Contemporary & Minimalist — Clean lines, polished stone, geometric forms, thin water sheets. Suited for modern villas, corporate campuses, and boutique hotels.
• Traditional Indian & Mughal-Inspired — Carved stone fountains, tiered basins, rill channels, and jaali-screened water walls rooted in classical South Asian garden tradition.
• Tropical & Resort Style — Naturalistic boulder fountains, lush planting integration, cascading water steps, and stone-clad pools suited to resort and hospitality landscapes.
• Heritage & Temple Style — Classical carved stone water tanks (pushkarani-inspired), ornamental spouts, and carved stone ponds for heritage properties and religious institutions.
• Zen & Meditative — Still reflecting pools, single-element stone fountain bowls, gravel and stone compositions inspired by Japanese and contemplative garden traditions.

Engineering Behind the Beauty

A stone water feature is not just carved stone — it is a working system. Our water features are built with:

• Sealed and waterproofed basins — Preventing leakage and water seepage into structural elements.
• Submersible pump systems — Sized correctly to the volume and height of each feature, with energy-efficient motor selection.
• Concealed pipework — All plumbing routed invisibly within or behind the stone structure.
• Water treatment provisions — Anti-algae treatments, UV sterilisation provisions, and overflow design for low-maintenance operation.
• Ambient LED lighting integration — Underwater and perimeter lighting for dramatic evening effect.
• Easy-access maintenance panels — Pump chambers and filter access points built into the design for hassle-free servicing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are stone water features suitable for Chennai's climate? Yes. We specifically select and treat stones for Chennai's hot, humid, and coastal conditions. Granite is our primary recommendation for outdoor water features, as it is non-porous, resistant to algae staining, and unaffected by continuous water exposure.

Q: How much maintenance does a stone water feature require? Stone water features require periodic cleaning of the basin, pump filter checks every 4–6 weeks, and occasional stone sealing for porous materials like sandstone. Granite features are especially low-maintenance. We provide a full maintenance guide at handover.

Q: Can you design indoor water features that are quiet enough for office or home use? Yes. We specify silent submersible pumps for indoor features and design water flow patterns that produce a soft ambient sound rather than loud splashing — appropriate for living rooms, offices, and wellness spaces.

Q: Can water features be added to an existing garden or landscaped area? Absolutely. We assess the existing space and design water features that integrate naturally with your current layout — whether that means a freestanding fountain, a wall-mounted feature, or a new pool element.

Q: Do you handle the civil work (basin construction) or only the stone fabrication? We offer end-to-end project management including civil coordination, waterproofing, plumbing, stone installation, and commissioning — so you deal with a single point of contact throughout.

Q: Can you incorporate lighting into water features? Yes. We integrate underwater LED lighting, perimeter accent lighting, and ambient spotlighting into water feature designs for striking evening and nighttime effect.

Q: What is the typical lead time for a custom stone water feature? Most custom water features are completed and installed within 4–8 weeks, depending on design complexity and site readiness. We confirm timelines during the design briefing.

Q: Can you make a stone fountain to match an existing heritage or traditional property style? Yes. We specialise in both contemporary and classical styles, including traditional South Indian, Mughal, and heritage-inspired designs. We can work from reference images, architectural drawings, or existing stonework on your property.
