The forestry management base grew substantially during the 1970s, with further operations in England, Wales and Scotland. In 1980, fountain forestry was incorporated in the US to provide UK investors access to natural hardwood forests in the stable US economy and currency. In 1989, a land brokerage subsidiary, fountains realty, was formed. Over the next two decades, through growth, acquisitions and strategic alliances, the forestry and real estate operations continued to expand. In 2005, a GIS consulting firm was acquired and a new subsidiary, fountains spatial, was launched.

In 2006, US operations reorganized under the banner of fountains america,with three subsidiaries: fountain forestry, fountains real estate and fountains spatial. fountains america is a subsidiary of fountains plc.

In 2008, fountain forestry was officially renamed fountains forestry; fountains real estate was renamed fountains land.
