Approx. 90cm of natural basalt
The broad stone gives the feature enough presence for larger borders, lawns and landscaped spaces where a smaller fountain could become visually lost, while its low profile keeps the overall design understated.

BOOK A CONSULTATIONA substantial, low-profile natural stone water feature designed to bring the character of solid volcanic basalt into larger gardens and landscaped spaces.
At approximately 90cm across, the Miren Extra Large Babbling Basalt has considerably more presence than the smaller stones in the collection without relying on height. Its broad polished surface creates an expansive area of moving water, while the rugged natural perimeter keeps the feature firmly connected to the landscape around it.
Water rises gently through the centre of the stone, collects across the shallow dished surface and travels towards the irregular edges before cascading back into the concealed reservoir below.
Because every piece is formed from genuine natural basalt and individually finished, variations in shape, colour, markings and edge profile are part of the character of Miren.
The Extra Large Miren retains the simple babbling-water effect of the smaller stones but expands it across a much broader natural surface.
The broad stone gives the feature enough presence for larger borders, lawns and landscaped spaces where a smaller fountain could become visually lost, while its low profile keeps the overall design understated.
Rather than producing a high jet, water bubbles gently onto the shallow polished surface and spreads naturally towards the outer edge, creating multiple small cascades around the basalt.
Genuine volcanic stone brings natural variations in outline, markings, colour and texture, giving every Miren its own character rather than the repeated finish of a moulded water feature.
The broad polished upper surface creates a shallow area of moving water rather than a conventional fountain jet.
As water spreads away from the centre, it darkens the basalt and reveals subtle variations within the natural stone before reaching the rugged perimeter and returning to the reservoir below.
The result is a calmer, more landscape-led water effect particularly suited to planting, gravel and natural stone garden schemes.
Basalt is a dense natural stone formed from cooled volcanic material. Its darker colouring makes it particularly effective for water features because the appearance changes noticeably once the surface becomes wet.
Softer dry greys become deeper charcoal, black and warm brown tones, increasing the contrast between the polished upper surface and the naturally textured perimeter.
Dimensions are approximate. Natural variations in overall shape, thickness, markings, edge profile, colour and texture should be expected and are an intentional part of choosing genuine basalt.
At approximately 90cm across but only around 10cm high, the Extra Large Miren creates impact through width rather than height.
This horizontal proportion helps the stone feel integrated into the surrounding garden rather than appearing as an object placed on top of it.
The reservoir is installed below ground and covered by the supporting grid. Decorative pebbles can then conceal the installation, leaving the natural basalt and moving water as the visible elements.
Choose a suitable position and prepare a firm, level area for the underground reservoir.
Position the reservoir below ground so the upper edge finishes at the appropriate garden level.
Position the pump within the reservoir and connect the hose feeding the centre of the basalt.
Fit the heavy-duty support grid and make sure the structure is level and properly supported before positioning the basalt.
Carefully position the stone over the outlet and check that it sits securely before completing the surrounding finish.
Decorative stone can be used to conceal the grid and visually integrate the feature into the surrounding landscape.
The Miren Extra Large is supplied as a complete recirculating water feature system, ready to be incorporated into your garden landscaping.
The Miren babbling basalt design is available at several scales, allowing the stone to be matched more closely to the size and character of the surrounding garden.
The smallest version for tighter borders, patios and more intimate garden spaces.
Increased surface area and presence while retaining the low-profile natural stone character.
Approximately 90cm across for larger borders and landscaped garden schemes.
The largest Miren babbling stone for projects where exceptional natural scale is the priority.
Miren extends beyond the babbling stones. Explore natural boulders, ripple surfaces, carved basalt and raised slab fountains, all centred around the individual colour, texture and character of genuine volcanic stone.
With a natural stone approaching 90cm across, positioning and proportion become particularly important. Our water feature specialists can help you compare the Miren sizes and advise on positioning, installation and the surrounding finish.
