Drilled Basalt Bird Bath

A stone birdbath gives a garden a quiet focal point that birds find quickly. These are cut from basalt rock, then dished to form a shallow bowl and drilled. Each one measures 24 inches across, a size that fits a planting bed, a courtyard or the corner of a patio. Because they are real stone, every piece has its own surface and character, so it is worth choosing yours in person.

Dished and drilled basalt

The top of each birdbath is dished into a bowl and the stone is drilled. Ask staff about the drilled hole when you choose your piece.

At 24 inches in diameter, the bowl is wide enough to be seen from across the yard and still easy to place among plants.

Where to set a birdbath

Birdbaths work well near a window, beside a path or in the middle of a bed of low plants. A ring of pebbles or cobbles around the base finishes the setting and catches splash.

Seeing and buying one

Specialty pieces come and go, so call before you visit to ask which birdbaths are in the yard. If the yard is out, ask about a special order.

Stone birdbaths are heavy. Delivery runs Monday through Saturday, and the yard rents dollies for moving heavy pieces at home.
