Custom Red Granite Swan Fountain for a Dubai Client

Project Introduction

A client in Dubai asked us for a showpiece fountain with a classical, elegant look and the scale to anchor a large outdoor space. Our team designed and built a two-tier red granite swan fountain set in a spacious octagonal pool.

At the center, two scalloped bowls rise in tiers, topped with a carved finial. Water spills from the upper bowl to the lower one and then into the pool. Around the base, four graceful swans with raised wings turn toward the center, as if gliding on the water. Four carved urns stand at the corners of the pool, and a stepped, molded rim finishes the edge.

We chose red granite for its warm color and its durability. It is dense, hard and highly resistant to sun, heat, water and weathering, which makes it a good fit for a long-lasting outdoor fountain in a hot climate like Dubai’s.

Project Showcase

1. Design Drawings

Every custom fountain starts on paper. For this project, we prepared a full set of design drawings so the client could review the proportions, dimensions and layout before any stone was cut:

Front elevation:shows the two-tier structure, the swan positions and the height of each component, from the 0.39 m finial down to the 0.29 m pool rim.
Plan view:shows the octagonal pool with its scalloped inner edge and corner details, at a total footprint of 10.21 m × 10.21 m (about 33.5 ft × 33.5 ft).

The drawings let the client confirm the design and adjust details early, and they gave our workshop exact dimensions to follow during carving and cutting.

2. Completed Fountain

After the drawings were approved, our craftsmen carved and polished every component in red granite: the scalloped bowls, the four swan sculptures, the decorative urns and the molded pool rim. The stone has a rich, warm red tone and a smooth polished finish, and the swans’ feathers, wings and necks are carved in fine detail.

The pieces were then assembled to check the final look and fit.

3. Factory Water Test

Before shipping, we assembled the fountain in our yard and ran it with water. This test lets us check:

Water flow: water spills evenly from the upper bowl to the lower bowl and into the pool.
Joints and fit: every granite section lines up properly.
Pump and plumbing layout: the water circulation works as designed.

Any adjustments are made at the factory, so installation on site goes more smoothly.

4. Packing and Loading

After the test, we marked every stone piece with a number and disassembled the fountain. Each piece was then protected for sea transport:

Numbered pieces that match the assembly drawings
Foam and wrapping around carved details such as the swans, bowls and urns
Strong wooden crates and bracing for heavy granite components
Careful container loading to prevent movement and damage in transit
