Blueprint Takeoffs in Minutes
Upload your landscape sketch or survey. Our AI takeoff engine extracts dimensions and calculates excavation volume, plumbing runs and electrical conduit length, cutting days off pre-construction.
Local Residential Crews
We assign licensed Albany masons, electricians and landscapers who follow New York State codes and CountBricks quality controls.
1. Size & Style
A three-tiered 4' diameter fountain typically runs less than a 12' architectural water wall with LED sequencing.
2. Site Conditions
Rocky soil off Lark Street requires heavier equipment than loam in suburban Guilderland, impacting excavation hours.
3. Utilities & Permits
Albany requires GFCI-protected electrical service and, in some districts, storm-water mitigation. CountBricks pulls all permits.
4. Finish Materials
• Cast concrete for classic aesthetics
• Granite or bluestone for premium durability
• Glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) for modern designs
5. Automation & Lighting
Smart pumps, low-voltage LED uplights and Wi-Fi scheduling raise both functionality and budget.
Entry Level: $7,500–$12,000
Mid-Range: $13,000–$25,000
High-End Custom: $26,000–$60,000+

A 1920s Colonial in Albany’s Pine Hills neighborhood needed a backyard centerpiece. CountBricks replaced a patchy lawn with a 6' limestone fountain surrounded by herringbone brick. AI takeoffs identified a granite ledge 18" below grade, so our crew brought in a compact breaker attachment, saving two days of manual chipping. Final costs landed 4% under the original AI estimate, and water flow was live within three weeks—just in time for the homeowner’s June garden party.

While a fountain is a lifestyle upgrade first, it can also be a strategic home investment. CountBricks data from recent closings shows properties with a professionally installed water feature sell 6–8 percent faster in Albany’s mid-price bracket.
• Material Consistency – Match fountain stone to existing chimney or front-step masonry to create visual harmony buyers notice instantly.
• Energy Efficiency – Variable-speed pumps controlled through the CountBricks mobile app cut operating costs up to 40 percent, a selling point during showings.
• Night Lighting – Low-voltage LEDs extend usable outdoor hours and photograph beautifully for listings, amplifying online interest.
• Choose a basin depth of at least 24" to stabilize water temperature and reduce algae.
• Add an auto-fill valve tied to your irrigation line; evaporation is higher in Albany’s wind corridors.
• Opt for a pump access hatch above the waterline to simplify winterization without draining the entire system.
Every Albany fountain comes with a two-year workmanship warranty plus lifetime access to your digital project file on CountBricks.com. Need to locate a shutoff valve five years from now? Log in, view the as-built drawings and schedule service with one click.
