Why belgrano® natural stone is the best choice for custom fountains
reading time - 5 min
Whether in public squares, parks, or city centers – natural stone fountains create impressive architectural accents and foster an inviting atmosphere. They improve air quality by binding pollutants in the water and providing refreshing cooling through evaporation on hot days. With belgrano® natural stone, exclusive, durable water features are created that are aesthetically captivating while being sustainable and environmentally friendly.
belgrano® natural stone vs. concrete – an economic decision
Thanks to state-of-the-art manufacturing technology, even the most complex fountain shapes and water features with flowing contours can be implemented with millimeter precision – and without the high mold costs associated with concrete one-offs. Concrete may initially seem more cost-effective, but in the long run, it leads to higher maintenance costs: it can fade, crack, and lose stability. In contrast, natural stone stands out for its durability, retains its unique character, and offers lasting value. It withstands weather conditions for decades, requires minimal maintenance, and provides a consistently impressive appearance – all without complex upkeep.
Limitless design possibilities with belgrano® natural stone
With belgrano® natural stone, virtually unlimited design ideas for water features can be realized. Whether fountain basins, water tables, fountain fields, or custom-made special elements – every idea can be implemented in a unique form and function.

Whether in urban centers, parklands, or as an integral part of historic sites – with belgrano® natural stone, every water design becomes a sustainable and impressive architectural highlight.

Once again, we take a closer look at some of our belgrano® natural stone projects, some of which were completed more than ten years ago. We take a closer look at the Porschestraße in Wolfsburg (completed in 2009), the market square in Schönebeck an der Elbe (completed in 2016), the State Archive in Magdeburg (completed in 2011) and the main square in Landsberg am Lech (completed in 2013). The longevity of belgrano® natural stone is proven by current photographs.
We take a close look at three projects that were completed more than ten years ago. What do the market square in Halle, the Airport Plaza at Hamburg Airport and the suburb in Ebingen look like today?
