Water Fountains and Garden Pieces Under $500
Two quite different shoppers land here. One wants a small finished thing: a tabletop fountain, a birdbath, a piece of sculpture for a shelf. The other is working out how far a budget goes on a bigger project. Both are worth serving, and they need different parts of this page.
What is genuinely a complete piece at this price
- Tabletop fountains. Self-contained, pump included, plug in and run. The most common finished purchase under $500.
- Birdbaths. Cast stone, no pump and no power needed. A plain birdbath holds still water; a birdbath fountain has a pump and costs more.
- Bronze tabletop sculpture. Small lost-wax castings for a desk, a shelf or a hall table.
- Decorative spouts and small scuppers. The ornamental hardware for a wall or pool feature. See decorative water spouts.
- Fire glass and fire media. What goes in a burner pan, sold by the bag.
What is a starting price rather than the whole story
Several designs here are offered in more than one size, and the figure you see is the smallest. A stone column kit that starts at $480 may run well past that at the tallest size, and a fountain listed at an entry price may have options that add to it.
That is not a catch, it is how a size range works, and every product page shows the full spread before you buy. But it is worth knowing before you plan a budget around a browsing price.
Accessories that make a bigger piece work
A good part of this page is the supporting cast rather than the main event: fountain lights that transform a fountain after dark, pumps, water treatments, cleaning solutions, and fire accessories. Color samples are here too, which are the cheapest way to avoid an expensive mistake on a hand-finished piece.
If your budget is a little higher
The step up from here opens most of the store. Tabletop fountains, ceramic fountain kits and garden wall fountains are where the range really begins, and all outdoor fountains lets you sort the whole catalog by price.
Under $500 FAQs
Is everything here actually under $500?
Everything starts under $500. Some pieces are offered in several sizes and the figure you see is the entry size, so a larger version of the same design costs more. Every product page shows the full price range before you buy.
Can I get a real outdoor fountain for under $500?
A tabletop or small self-contained fountain, yes. A full-size garden fountain in cast stone, generally not, because the material and the freight cost more than that on their own. What this page is genuinely good for is tabletop pieces, birdbaths, spouts, accessories and sculpture.
Do the fountains at this price include a pump?
The self-contained ones do. A tabletop fountain arrives with its pump and needs only a power outlet. Spouts and scuppers are outlets rather than fountains and do not include a pump, because they run off an existing supply.
Do birdbaths at this price have moving water?
A plain birdbath does not. It holds still water and needs no pump, no plumbing and no power. A birdbath FOUNTAIN has a pump and moving water and is listed as a fountain.
Is shipping really free?
Yes, free shipping to the lower 48 contiguous states, including on this page. There is no minimum order to reach it.
What are color samples?
Small physical samples of a maker's finishes, so you can see a patina or a glaze in person before committing to a hand-finished piece. They are a paid product, and they are the cheapest insurance on this whole page.
How long does delivery take?
Most of what we sell is made to order, so lead times are shown on each product page rather than as stock on hand. Small items generally ship faster than the large cast pieces.
