John Timberland Classic Stone Garden Fountain Review
If you’re looking to add a calming accent piece to your home or yard, the John Timberland Tuscan Classic Stone Garden Fountain is an ideal choice. This Tuscan fountain is a great way to add height to your space while bringing a sense of calm.
This classic fountain has a circular 3 tier design, which means you can enjoy the fountain from any angle – no unsightly open electrical boxes. Proudly place this Tuscan inspired fountain in the center of your garden and surround it with your favorite plants for a truly special look.
A classic stone garden fountain for all to enjoy!
This stone garden fountain is suitable for indoor or outdoor use, which means you have options for where you’d like to place your fountain. With a natural dark stone finish, the coloring is sure to complement any home decor.
Feel relaxed as you listen to water softly trickle down each of the 3 tiers. This classic fountain is a dreamy addition to your home, patio, or garden.
Tuscan fountain made of lightweight material.
The John Timberland Classic Stone Garden Fountain weighs just 35 pounds. This makes it easy for you to reposition the fountain or to slightly tip it over for cleaning. Despite being so easy to maneuver, it’s still heavy enough that you won’t have to worry about it falling over on a windy day.
This stone garden fountain measures 41 1/2″ high x 23″ wide x 23″ deep, which makes it the perfect sized addition to your indoor or outdoor space. It has a very reasonably sized cord, at 4 feet long, making it easy to plug-in to any outlet. If you need more length, you can always use an extension cord.
It has a small opening near the bottom of the classic fountain for the cord. We like that the opening is small and blends in with the natural dark stone finish. You don’t have to worry about hiding the back of the fountain.
Consistent, peaceful water flow.
The top tier of this stone garden fountain has a nice bubbling effect as water flows down through each of the three tiers. The basins have extra openings so that the streams of water increase as they pass through each basin.
As the water gently cascades down, it produces a pleasant, relaxing sound that helps drown out any unwanted background noise. This classic fountain holds approximately 4-5 gallons of water, so depending on your use, you won’t have to worry about adding water too frequently. However, if it’s in full sunlight during the day, you may need to refill the water daily.
Easy on your electric bill.
We love that this stone garden fountain is electric – you won’t have to worry about constantly replacing expensive batteries. This tuscan fountain consumes 50 watts and has a 120 volt connection. Customers did not experience a large spike in their electric bill.
Although, keeping the fountain on for a whole year will cost you $58.30 based on the average national electricity rate (source).
Good value in comparison to similar models.
While we researched several other freestanding stone garden fountains, we found the Classic Stone Garden Fountain to be fairly priced at around $240. Other similar models range in price from $390 to $429.

You control the adjustable flow.
The John Timberland Classic Stone Garden Fountain has an adjustable flow. This is especially helpful if you experience any water splashing as it cascades down or splashes out of the bottom basin. If the flow is too powerful, simply reduce the speed.
Summary of the John Timberland Classic Stone Garden Fountain.
The classic stone garden fountain is a beautiful addition to your deck, patio or garden. It is just the right height to make a statement without overpowering other elements of your backyard space.
We love that you have a beautiful 360 degree view of the classic fountain, thanks to the discreet placement of the cord. There is even a small opening near the bottom so that the cord runs flush underneath the fountain, so there’s no worrying about an uneven base. This also gives you more options for where you can place the fountain since you won’t have to worry about hiding an unsightly backside.
Recommendation
There seems to be only one thing missing from this stone garden fountain and that’s lighting. Unfortunately, unlike most other free-standing fountains, this classic garden fountain does not have any source of lighting.
The good news is, you can add your own external lighting element! Consider adding a spotlight or hanging lights from a tree above the fountain. This is a fun way to enhance the ambiance by adding some extra illumination.
Also, make sure your fountain is full with enough water that the pump is submerged. The stone garden fountain does not have an automatic shutoff when it’s low on water so you may need to keep your eye on it for the first few days. This will help you know how often you’ll need to add water.
Conclusion
We are certain you will love this classic Tuscan fountain. With a lower than average price point, it’s a smart purchase. It’s also not going to be very expensive to run so no worrying about a super high electric bill.
While this Tuscan style fountain may not come with lighting, we do appreciate the simple, natural dark stone finish. We like the simplicity and didn’t feel the need to add anything else. The detailing on this fountain is quite nice on its own.
