Product Description The Whispering Top & Spring Pond is a naturalistic, sanctuary-style garden water feature cast in solid, heavy-duty stone concrete to capture the peaceful essence of a secluded woodland stream. Featuring a rugged, cave-like Whispering Top rock formation, water bubbles gently within an elevated grotto before spilling across an intermediate rock shelf and cascading in a soothing, multi-stream curtain into the matching freeform Spring Pond basin below.

Weighing a solid 90kg with a well-proportioned 1.2m width by 1.25m depth and an accessible 60cm height, this concrete ensemble delivers exceptional wind stability, permanence, and year-round outdoor weather resistance. Its warm, organic sandstone textures and gentle water trickles make it an ideal centerpiece for low flowerbeds, rockeries, courtyard corners, and patio relaxation areas, serving as an accessible drinking oasis and splash bath for garden birds and local pollinators.

Installation & Foundation Guide Install on a firm, flat, and well-compacted foundation to evenly distribute the 90kg weight. A level base of compacted crusher run, sturdy garden pavers, or a flat concrete pad is ideal to prevent settling over time. Check the pond rim with a spirit level before filling to ensure the water level remains uniform and spills cleanly across each rock shelf. Submerge a standard fountain pump inside the basin reservoir and run flexible tubing up to the intake manifold located behind the Whispering Top (submersible pump sold separately).

Maintenance & Care

• Keep the Spring Pond generously filled with clean water so the submersible pump intake remains fully covered during operation.
• Periodically remove fallen leaves, blossoms, and garden debris to keep water clear and pump intakes free of obstructions.
• Treat with a concrete-safe, bird- and wildlife-friendly algaecide to prevent green algae buildup along the spillway shelves and basin floor.
