Few upgrades elevate a North Texas backyard like a custom water feature. From sleek modern basins to Mediterranean courtyards, a professionally built fountain adds sound, movement, and resale value to any residential property. CountBricks specializes in fountain construction Dallas homeowners rely on for accuracy, speed, and stress-free budgeting—powered by our AI-driven estimating platform.
Dallas experiences scorching summers, occasional freezes, and hard water. CountBricks designs each fountain’s plumbing, basin depth, and pump selection around these realities to maximize durability.
The City of Dallas requires permits for exterior plumbing tie-ins and electrical runs. CountBricks handles all submissions, inspections, and utility locates so clients never stand in line at city hall.
• Small accent fountains: 2–4 ft diameter, ideal for patios
• Medium courtyard focal points: 5–7 ft, often tiered or sculptural
• Large statement pieces: 8+ ft with integrated lighting, seating, and smart controls
Using the CountBricks mobile conversation tool, homeowners describe style, size, and finish preferences. Our AI converts spoken details into a live estimate, pulling real-time material pricing from local suppliers.
Upload a site plan or snap smartphone photos—CountBricks AI creates accurate takeoffs, then produces a 3D model that shows how your fountain will look from the patio door or kitchen window.
• Pumps, filters, and UV clarifiers matched to gallon capacity

When the Ramirez family purchased their mid-century home in Dallas’ Lakewood neighborhood, the existing concrete planter felt more eyesore than oasis. Here’s how CountBricks transformed it into a show-stopping focal point.
• Match clean architectural lines while introducing soft water movement
• Keep footprint under 6 ft to preserve entertaining space
• Integrate LED lighting visible from interior living areas
During a 15-minute phone call, our estimator captured dimensions, finish preferences, and budget. The CountBricks platform returned a 14-line estimate broken down by excavation, basin shell, pump kit, porcelain tile, and app-based timer—totaling $14,880, all before an on-site visit.
1. Demolition and soil stabilization completed in one day with compact machinery to protect existing trees.
2. Pre-cast reinforced basin craned into place, plumbed, and pressure-tested within 48 hours.
3. Porcelain panels waterproofed using CountBricks’ preferred membrane, then laser-cut for perfect grout lines.
4. Wi-Fi controller synced with the family’s smart-home hub, allowing sunrise start-ups and night-time color cycles.
The new fountain now greets guests with a gentle cascade visible from the glass-walled living room. Monthly utility cost: under $4, thanks to an energy-efficient 45-watt pump selected by CountBricks AI.
