The Cascata is a study in stacked geometry. Three smooth, tapered bowls sit one above another on a compact 18-inch base, each a little wider than the one above it. Water wells up in the top bowl, overflows its rim into the middle bowl and then spills again into the broad lower basin, which spans 35¾ inches. The name comes from the Italian and Portuguese word for waterfall, but the look is decidedly contemporary: clean profiles, no carved ornament and a strong silhouette at just under 32 inches tall.
That combination — a modest footprint with a wide catch basin — lets the Cascata sit comfortably on a patio, at the corner of a planting bed or in a courtyard where a full tiered fountain would be too tall. The three drops of water give layered, moderate sound that carries across a seating area without dominating it.
Fiore Stone hand-casts the fountain in Nevada from cast stone concrete. It ships in four pieces with a 310 GPH recirculating pump on a 16-foot cord, so it is self-contained and needs no plumbing. It is pictured in Bronze and is finished to order in the Fiore Stone color you choose.

Why This Fountain
The Cascata is a good fit for homeowners who like the movement of a tiered fountain but want a modern shape and a lower overall height. It pairs well with desert and Mediterranean planting, stucco and stone hardscape, and contemporary patios, and its round form works as a centerpiece in a small circular garden or at the end of a path.
