Fountains are architectural anchors, often defining plazas, entrances, or organizing how people move through a space. Many incorporate sculpture, carving, and metalwork equal to museum-quality objects. Besides being pieces of art, they also introduce motion, sound, and reflection, transforming spaces into immersive experiences.

Their complexity makes them uniquely vulnerable and their restoration inherently interdisciplinary. Historic fountain restoration requires a holistic approach that addresses materials, water behavior, and long-term performance. EverGreene approaches fountain restoration as the intersection of conservation science, engineering, and craftsmanship. This often includes:

• Cleaning and corrosion removal (detergents, poultices, micro-abrasion)
• Crack repair, grout injection
• Waterproofing and basin stabilization
• Replacement or replication of lost elements

From initial condition assessments and material investigations to treatments and long-term maintenance planning, our cross-disciplinary teams ensure that fountains are not only preserved but continue to perform as intended for many decades to come.
