Arrive

Kane Brothers was contacted to design a fountain to replace a dilapidated and uninspired feature at this estate. The new fountain was carved from granite off-site, and stands nearly 20 feet tall and 30 feet wide. The fountain arrived at the home in 106 individual pieces, and was assembled with exacting precision. A carefully planned lighting system illuminates the fountain’s impressive detail by nightfall.

Strong expertise in water filtration and hydraulic design allowed the Kane Brothers team to overcome the challenging task of placing the hydraulics beneath the existing heated driveway with the precise accuracy needed to align all components of the 40,000 pound granite fountain.

“Kane Brothers built a fountain for me that was inspired by a photo that I saw in a magazine. The fountain was at a resort property and I sent Frank and Chris there to look at it and see if they could fit something similar into my property. I had a pre-existing fountain, which I’ve since coined the ‘ugly duckling’ of my neighborhood, and I wanted it replaced. The company that constructed my previous fountain did not take the interest that Kane Brothers took in the project, nor did they have the experience and knowledge that Kane Brothers has. Kane Brothers took an interest in the project like I have never seen anyone take an interest in something that did not belong to them. They took it personally and did an incredible job. The final project met my expectations and then some. It went far beyond what I thought it would be. They took my idea and just made it better. Now, people leave notes in my mailbox telling me how wonderful the fountain is and others who say they bring people from out of town past the fountain just to show it to them.

I work with people all day long, from all kinds of different trades, and Kane Brothers is the best. They really put their heart and soul into their work and are really intelligent and hardworking. They remind me of myself at their age, when I was starting my business. There are not too many companies out there as qualified as Kane Brothers is. I am very proud of what they did and I would recommend them to anybody at any time.”
