Granite is a beautiful stone that practically does not absorb moisture (water absorption coefficient is 0.05–0.17%). That is why granite is perfect for making fountains, facing embankments and pavements. In addition, it is resistant to weathering and acids.

A bit of history:
The first fountains appeared in Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, as evidenced by the images on the ancient tombstones. They were originally used for watering crops and ornamental plants. The Egyptians built fountains in orchards near the house, where they were set in the middle of a rectangular pond.
According to certain canons, the Persian oriental garden was supposed to reflect four different entities – water, flowers, plants and music, which can be seen in ancient images and carpet drawings. Muslim gardens were surrounded by terraces of multi-colored tiles, the spray of the fountain, reflecting from them, created an extraordinary play of light and shadow.

In gardens of a different type, unity was created – water, flowers, trees, light and shadow.
The Taj Mahal gardens in India and the Shalimar gardens are considered a striking example of such landscape architecture. In such gardens, an important accent is the full-flowing springs running down from the mountains, where at the foot of their beds they are artificially turned, creating reservoirs and waterfalls. Fountains were of great importance in China and Japan. Buddhist monks participated in the creation of the famous Japanese garden of Kyoto. Each element of this garden carries a special meaning and evokes a certain mood and state of mind in visitors.
