Water Feature Cost in Dubai: Fountains, Waterfalls and Water Walls

Custom water features from Water Wonders start from AED 15,000. After that, the price follows the feature: a wall fountain and a multi-tier garden waterfall are different projects with very little in common except the water.

Type of feature

• Wall fountains and water walls need a clean vertical surface, a concealed reservoir and a quiet pump.
• Waterfalls and cascades add rockwork, a header pool and a larger flow.
• Reflecting pools are mostly about waterproofing, level edges and clear water.
• Freestanding fountains can be simple or sculptural and sit anywhere there is a power point.

For ideas by type, see water feature ideas for Dubai gardens.

What moves the number

Size and flow

Wider and taller features need more water, larger pumps and stronger structures. The flow rate also decides how loud it is.

Materials

Natural stone, sculpted artificial rock, stainless steel and glass each have different costs and weight. Artificial rock is lighter and can be shaped to a design, see artificial rock vs natural stone.

Site and access

New builds are easier than gardens with finished landscaping. Roof or podium features need a structural check.

Lighting and controls

Underwater lighting, timers and level control are small items that improve the result.

What it costs to keep running

Electricity for pumps is modest. The recurring items are water top-ups, cleaning and treatment, filter care and occasional pump replacement. Hard water leaves scale on stone and glass, and a feature in full sun will grow algae unless the water is managed. A short checklist is in fountain and water feature maintenance.

How to get a sensible quote

1. Send photos of the location and an idea of the scale.
2. Say whether the feature is indoors or outdoors.
3. Tell us how you want it to sound: a trickle or a rush.
4. Ask for pumps, filtration, finish and lighting to be listed separately.
