Construct Waterfall
12
A) Build the waterfall starting from the bottom and
working upward. Larger boulders may require two
people to position.
B) Use rock work to create interesting drops and
cascades. Vary the rock size to provide visual interest.
Use small rock and gravel to fill the gaps between
larger boulders.

TIP!
Contain Splashing
A pond can lose a surprising amount of water due to splashing.
To minimize this water loss extend the liner to keep splashing
water contained in the system. A rule of thumb for pond
builders: For each foot of vertical drop extend the liner
1-1�/2’ to 3’ out from the point of water impact.
1’
Extend pond liner 1½’ to 3’ from the
point of impact for each foot of vertical drop.
