Who restores and services fountains in Caledon?
Fountain Place services fountains, ponds and floating fountains in Caledon from our Markham shop. Our best-known Caledon work is the Belfountain, in Belfountain, a 1914 fountain for Credit Valley Conservation that we brought back into service with new pumps, nozzles and copper pipe throughout.
We also maintain, repair and winterize estate fountains, and install and service floating fountains and aeration for rural ponds.

How we brought the Belfountain back
The Belfountain was built in the early 1900s and carries a 1914 datestone. It was fed by an aquifer and had stopped working.
The aquifer and original pipes no longer worked, so we installed new pumps and nozzles. We used copper pipe throughout to keep the fountain’s early-1900s character. The stone was restored by Clifford Restoration.
For public safety we added engineered pedestals and fibreglass-reinforced grating. The fountain is now ready for decades more. Read the full Belfountain case study.

Heritage features and country ponds
Heritage fountains need work that respects their original character. We look at what can be kept, engineer what has to change and coordinate with specialist trades such as stone restorers.
Rural and estate ponds face algae, odour and muck in summer. A floating fountain or aeration system adds oxygen and circulation, and we remove and service floating fountains each fall.

Caledon fountain questions
Can you restore a historic fountain that has stopped working?
Yes. On the Belfountain the aquifer and original pipes no longer worked, so we installed new pumps, nozzles and copper pipe while keeping its early-1900s character.
Do you work with stone restoration contractors?
Yes. On the Belfountain the stone was restored by Clifford Restoration while we handled the water systems and safety grating.
Where do we start with an old fountain?
With an inspection. Our condition reports give findings and repair costing, with options for every budget.
Do you install floating fountains on estate ponds?
Yes. We size and install floating fountains with options for controls, lights, spray patterns and anchoring, and service them each season.
