Natural basalt columns and mini basalt columns for water features, fountains, and landscape focal points. Premium straight 4 and 5-sided columns sourced from the Pacific Northwest, sold by the ton in a range of diameters and heights. Yard pickup or delivery anywhere in the United States.
From vertical garden accents to bubbler fountains and modern focal points, see where natural basalt columns earn their place in a landscape.
A cluster of basalt columns adds height and a strong vertical line to a planting bed or gravel garden. Set three or five at staggered heights so they read like a natural rock outcrop. The dark stone holds its color against green foliage and lighter ground cover.
Drill the center of a basalt column and set it over a hidden basin and pump to make a clean bubbler fountain. Water sheets down the textured sides and recirculates with no standing pool. It is a low-maintenance way to add the sound of moving water to a patio or entry.
The straight sides and dark tone of a basalt column suit modern and Japanese-style designs. Set a single column in a bed of fine gravel or pebbles for a quiet focal point. The clean geometry pairs well with simple planting and uncluttered hardscape.
A tall basalt column at an entry, driveway, or path junction draws the eye and marks the spot. One specimen column reads as sculpture, while a grouping frames a gate or doorway. The natural texture keeps it grounded next to architecture.
Round out your design with the water features, boulders, stone furniture, and custom work that frame a basalt column installation.
Bubblers, fountains, and pondless waterfalls that pair naturally with basalt columns. Add the sound of moving water to a patio, entry, or garden.
Hand-picked accent stones that ground a column grouping or stand on their own. Mix sizes and shapes for a natural outcrop look around the columns.
Benches, tables, and stone pieces that carry the same natural-stone look into seating and gathering areas. A finished counterpoint to vertical columns.
Drilling, cutting, and custom stone work for one-off pieces. Have a column drilled for a bubbler or sized to fit your project.
Pick the right height, learn placement and bubbler tips, and find the look that works for your landscape.
Basalt columns are natural volcanic stone with straight sides and a dark, textured surface. They add height and a strong vertical line to a garden, work as bubbler fountains when core-drilled, and stand on their own as sculptural focal points. The stone needs no finish to look right indoors or out.
