Fountain Design and Construction

Fountain Design and Construction in Homestead, FL

Fountain design isn’t just about moving water—it’s about creating something that feels alive. At Firefly Landscape Contractors LLC, we’ve spent over 20 years designing and building fountains across Homestead and South Florida, from simple courtyard pieces to large-scale architectural fountain designs that become a property’s centerpiece.


Every fountain construction project we take on is designed to do more than impress—it’s built to last through Florida’s sun, storms, and seasons.

Built for Florida Living

Florida fountains face different challenges than just about anywhere else. The heat, humidity, and mineral-rich water can take their toll on a poorly built system. That’s why our approach to outdoor fountain design starts with understanding the environment.


We design each project for the real conditions here in Homestead—from water pressure and evaporation to how the wind will carry mist. Our custom fountain builders use high-grade materials and sealants that can handle South Florida’s constant exposure to salt air and heat.


That’s the kind of detail that separates a fountain that fades fast from one that keeps flowing beautifully for decades.

What a Fountain Adds to Everyday Life

If you’ve ever sat near a fountain in the evening, you know the feeling—the quiet rhythm of water, the way it cools the air, the way light dances across the surface. It changes how a space feels.


We’ve built residential fountain designs for homeowners who wanted a calm corner to unwind and commercial fountain constructions for hotels and offices that needed a showpiece. But the effect is always the same—people slow down, take a breath, and linger a little longer.


A well-placed garden fountain installation can turn an ordinary entryway into a welcome and a backyard into a retreat. It’s not just about water—it’s about atmosphere.

Why Homeowners Call Firefly Landscape Contractors LLC

Most of our work comes from neighbors telling neighbors—and that’s the best compliment we can get. Folks call us because they’ve seen our work still running smoothly years later.


They know we:

  • Listen first and design around the space, not the other way around.
  • Build fountains that are quiet, efficient, and easy to maintain.
  • Use pumps, plumbing, and finishes that can handle Florida’s tough climate.
  • Stand behind every project long after the water’s flowing.


That’s the Firefly way—craftsmanship, honesty, and doing things right the first time.

How We Build a Fountain That Lasts

Every fountain construction project starts with a walk of the property. We look at how the space feels—where the light falls, how people move through it, and what kind of sound fits best. From there, we sketch a custom water feature design that complements the architecture, whether it’s classic stone, modern concrete, or something tropical and natural.


Once the plan’s set, our crew handles the fountain installation in-house. We dig and form the basin, run hidden plumbing and wiring, and install sealed systems that minimize water loss and energy use. Our decorative fountain builders shape every detail—from the flow pattern to the lighting angles—so that everything works as one.


We don’t rush the process, and we don’t hand it off to subcontractors. Every piece is built and tested by the same hands that designed it. That’s why our fountains stay reliable—even through Florida’s unpredictable weather.

A Simple Truth About Ponds

Here’s something we’ve learned after two decades of fountain construction services—a fountain’s beauty isn’t in the design alone; it’s in how it performs over time.


If the plumbing, pressure, and foundation are off by even a little, it’ll show later—leaks, noise, uneven flow. The key is balance. Every pump, line, and return must work in sync. That’s why we focus on the bones first—strong foundation, tight seals, smart water management—then layer in the artistry.


That’s the difference between a fountain that needs constant fixing and one that simply does its job, quietly and beautifully.

When It’s Finally Flowing

There’s always that moment during water fountain installation when the pumps kick on, the water starts moving, and the space transforms. You can feel it—the air cools, the sound softens everything around it, and suddenly the property feels complete.


That’s what we love about this work. You can see people’s faces change when the water starts to flow. It’s the reward after all the measuring, digging, and wiring—watching a piece of hardscape turn into something that feels alive.

Proudly Serving Homestead & South Florida

We’re based right here in Homestead, FL, and our work stretches across South Florida—from Coral Gables to Key Largo. We’ve built fountains for private homes, resorts, and small commercial spaces that wanted to bring in a bit of calm and movement.


No matter the project, we build with the same mindset: make it belong to its surroundings, hold up through the weather, and feel like it’s always been part of the landscape.
