CONTENTS HOW TO CREATE POND WATERFALLS

No matter the size, shape, or even how old your pond is, it is possible to add a waterfall. In fact, its a fantastic idea to add a waterfall to your pond because not only does the sound of moving water add to the overall aesthetic, but also it is beneficial to the health of your pond. Waterfalls help to oxygenate the water in your pond, keeping the plants and fish healthy and your pond looking stunning.

There are two structures you will need in order to add a waterfall to your pond. First, it is necessary to have a pond (hopefully you knew that) for the water to fall in and, two, you will need something for the water to cascade off and into your pond (most people use rocks or stones for this, but there are numerous options). A pump (the size will vary depending on the height and size of your waterfall) will move water up to the top of your waterfall and continue to recirculate it. The pump can be located either inside the pond underwater or outside of your pond concealed by a pump house or any sort of shrubbery or rock pile.

The best pond waterfalls are built either on a man made slope behind the pond (if you still have the dirt you dug to originally create the pond this works great) or, if you are fortunate, a natural slope near your pond. Under the materials you use to create the cascade (again this is usually stones) you will lay flexible pond liner over the slope. The pond liner ensures that no water will escape.

As you begin to actually construct the structure for the water to cascade down, you want to consider how you arrange the rocks or whatever materials you are using. As you can imagine, the arrangement of these materials directly impacts how your waterfall looks or sounds. While you play with the arrangement you need to plan where your spillway rocks will be. Spillway rocks are the rocks where the water spills directly over. For dramatic waterfalls, you will want to create space between the spillway rocks using spacers, which can be anything from extra rocks to old bricks you have lying around the house.

One last thing you will not regret adding a waterfall to your pond! In fact, you will be genuinely surprised at how simple it really is. A waterfall will transform the ambiance of your backyard, keep your pond environment healthy and happy, and guarantee a look of humiliation from your neighbors as they peer over your wall. Its a win-win!
