Add Movement, Sound & Elegance — Without a Pond

Fountains and urn scapes by Willow Ridge: the perfect way to bring water’s tranquility to your Knoxville landscape with style and simplicity.

A Quiet Yard Isn’t Always a Peaceful One

Beautiful lawns and patios deserve more than stillness. Without a water element, your landscape misses out on ambiance — the soothing sound of flowing water, the soft sparkle of light dancing on water at dusk, the visual focal point that invites guests. Plus, ponds or waterfalls can be costly, high-maintenance, or simply too large or complex for certain yards. Many homeowners want the charm of water, but without pond upkeep, leaks, or fish care.

Fountainscapes Designed for Simplicity and Style

Willow Ridge offers fountain and urn features (fountainscapes) that deliver the sensory delight of water without the commitment of a pond. Using low water volume designs, reservoirs (like a pondless system), and high-quality pumps and materials, our fountains work quietly, beautifully, and reliably. Choose from basalt columns, urn fountainscapes, spillway bowls, classic urns, and more — each selected to integrate seamlessly with your existing landscape style and scale.

Serenity in Every Ripple

Small Space, Big Impact

When space is limited but style isn’t, a custom fountain is the perfect fit. Compact and low-maintenance, these features bring movement, sound, and artistry to your landscape—delivering the serenity of water without the upkeep of a full pond.

    The Basalt Column

    Features natural volcanic stone sculpted to let water flow seamlessly from its core, creating an elegant, organic centerpiece for any landscape.

    Urn Fountainscape

    Combines versatility and elegance, with a range of sizes and built-in LED lighting that lets their beauty shine day or night.

    The Spillway Bowl

    Evokes timeless elegance with a cascading design inspired by ancient Roman and Greek artistry—creating endlessly customizable tiers of flowing water.

    Rocks & Gravel

    Adding gravel to a pond protects the liner, supports beneficial bacteria, and enhances the pond’s natural appearance.

    Skimmer

    Captures large debris while housing the pump that circulates water back to the BIOFALLS Filter, keeping the pond clean and balanced.

Frequently asked questions

Schedule a consultation
  • Will a fountain or urn feature work in all seasons in Knoxville?

    Yes — if properly winterized. That means draining lines, covering or protecting pumps, and using materials rated for freeze-thaw cycles. Integrated lighting enhances evening appeal too.

  • Do I need special maintenance for fountains & urns?

    Basic maintenance includes keeping the pump clean, occasionally clearing debris, checking water level, and cleaning the surfaces. No fish or aquatic plants generally means simpler care.

  • How much does a fountain or urn installation typically cost?

    Costs begin around $5,000+ for basic fountainscapes or urn-based features. Final pricing depends on style, size, installation complexity, reservoir work, lighting, and finish materials.

  • How loud are outdoor fountains / urn fountains?

    Very minimal. While designs vary, many of our fountainscapes are engineered for subtle sound — enough to soothe, but not overpower. The water flow is usually low and gentle.

  • What styles of fountains & urns are offered at Willow Ridge?

    We offer several styles: basalt columns, classic urn fountainscapes, spillway bowls, traditional urn designs, and more. Many include accent lighting so they shine even in twilight.

  • What exactly is a “fountainscape” and how is it different from a pond or waterfall?

    A fountainscape is generally a water feature that includes a fountain or urn element with water recirculation via a hidden reservoir system — much like pondless waterfalls. They use less water, no fish or complex plant systems, and are simpler to maintain, while still offering the sound and motion of water.
