Are Trevi fountains carved from real natural marble?
Yes. Trevi marble fountains are hand-carved from solid natural marble blocks, not concrete, resin, cultured marble or cast stone. Stone photos, carving progress photos and close-up detail photos can be shared before shipment.
What size marble fountain is suitable for a villa courtyard?
Many villa courtyard buyers choose fountains from 6 ft to 12 ft in diameter, depending on the viewing distance, walkway clearance and surrounding architecture. Larger estate driveways and hotel entrances often need a wider basin or a custom monumental design.
Can you customize a fountain for a hotel or landscape project?
Yes. Trevi can customize basin diameter, total height, tier number, figure design, marble colour, water effect, lighting position and component divisions based on your site plan, photos and design brief.
How do you test the fountain before shipment?
Before packing, key fountain components can be assembled at the factory to check the fitting, carved details and water flow. Photos or videos can be shared for approval before export packing.
How is a large marble fountain shipped overseas?
Large fountains are divided into numbered sections, protected with foam and wooden export crates, then shipped by sea. Trevi provides packing photos and component references to support unloading and installation.
Do I need a local contractor for installation?
For large outdoor fountains, a local contractor is recommended for foundation, lifting, plumbing, electrical connection, drainage and final levelling. Trevi can provide installation guidance and component reference photos.
Can marble fountains be used in cold climates?
Natural marble can be used outdoors, but freezing water may damage the fountain system. In cold regions, the fountain should be drained and winterized according to local conditions before freezing weather.
What affects the cost of a custom marble fountain?
Cost is mainly affected by diameter, height, marble type, carving complexity, figure quantity, water system requirements, packing volume and destination. Sharing site details helps Trevi quote more accurately.
