Building a pond and backyard waterfalls does not have to be an impossible dream. Nor does it require a pond-building specialist. Careful planning before installation lessens the work as well as the cost.

And actually, the bigger a pond is, the easier it is to maintain, so plan the largest pond your budget and landscaping will allow.

Keep in mind several things when planning your pond:

Location: We chose a place on our property with a good mixture of sun and shade. We also chose to build our pond on a natural hill so we could put in a waterfall using existing terrain.

Budget:Style/Size: We wanted a rock-lined pond and decided on a 2,400-gallon size.

Whether you want plants or not and what types are appropriate for your climate: We wanted hardy plants that would survive our cold winters and provide natural filtration.

Whether you want a waterfall or not: We decided that a waterfall would be worth the extra work because we wanted its soothing effects.

With some initial decisions made, we needed to consider:

* What depth would we need for the fish? (In northern Wisconsin, for instance, you would need at least a 48" depth.)
* How many levels would we need for plants? We chose two levels since we wanted bog plants as well as lilies.
* What would be the most comfortable way we could enjoy the pond and feed the fish?

After these considerations and you're pretty sure of what you want, then...let's get to it!


Before


After

Step 1 - Marking Contours: We marked 2 levels since we wanted bog plants as well as lilies. (Check your state's standard needed depth.)











Step 2 - The Digging: With the help of friends we dug the pond in a weekend. Excess dirt was used to build falls, elevated areas, and to level the pond's edges.










Step 3 - Installing Equipment: Our 2,400 gallon pond is low-maintenance because of the top quality Skimmer/Falls system we used.(Will list this system below)










Step 4 - The Liner: After the liner was placed over the pond, one side was secured as the rest was gently formed and folded to fit pond curves.










Step 5 - Adding Structure:
We covered the liner and edged the pond with 15 tons of rock, carefully building the waterfall, plant ledges, and fish hiding places.



Rock placement is the artful part, and the most difficult. You just need to play with it til it looks as natural as you can make it.

The more natural it looks, the more rewarding the view.

Also, remember as you are placing your liner and rocks, to allow for easy access to the wiring and tubing to your pump.(See the The Proper Waterfall Pump below).

You don't want to have to do a lot of uncovering to get to it when you need to. And watch for possible kinking in the tubing as you lay it as well.

Set the height of the waterfall as high as you desire. The higher the drop the louder and more dramatic. But make sure your pump is the size needed to accomplish the task.

How about seeing the finished product again?


Wallah!

Are you considering a waterfall or stream in your backyard, but don't know where to start?

Creating a plan and having the right equipment goes a long way toward saving you time and money.

Water features quickly become the focal point of any pond, and their benefits continue to grow.




Moving water discourages mosquitoes, which love to breed in stagnant pools, and the churning crash of water over rocks breathes vital oxygen into your water garden on those hot summer afternoons.

Fortunately, with innovations like cleverly-disguised waterfall filters that remove dangerous ammonia and nitrite to lightweight pre-built rock facades that take the backache out of building cascades and streams, adding a water feature to your pond is easier than ever.

Here are a few tips to remember as you plan your project:

Structure
You'll need to decide whether to raise the grade of your waterfall with dirt or rocks, as well as how tall and wide you desire it to be.

Stake out the area and measure to determine the square footage. It's best to figure how much material you'll need for the actual waterfall by dry stacking it at the rock yard.

Bring your measurements with you to make sure you have enough rock to fill the area created.

Liner
You'll need a piece of liner that is at least 2 feet wider on both sides than the "wet" area you have planned, and a foot longer than the height.

It's always safe to get more liner than you need, because if there's any way water can get out, it will.

The Proper Waterfall Pump
To pick the right waterfall pump, measure the height of the waterfall drop and the required flow rate in gallons per hour (gph).

Determine head height by measuring the distance between where the pump will be resting and the highest point of waterfall.

If your pump is at the bottom of a 2 ft deep pond and the top of the waterfall is 4 ft high, then your total head height is 6 ft.

An average waterfall, somewhere between a crash and a trickle, requires a flow rate of 100 gph per inch of waterfall or stream width. A waterfall that is 5 inches wide will need to pump with a flow rate of 500 gph.

Therefore, a waterfall that is 5 inches wide at a total height of 6 ft, will need a waterfall pump rated at 500 gph at 6 ft of head height. Refer to the manufacturer's pump charts to find the perfect pond pump for your new waterfall.

Lastly, when building a waterfall, make sure to grade any flat areas slightly tilting toward the pond for proper drainage, and of course take your time - it's a work of art in progress.

Believe it or not, I bought all my water garden stuff from...




I always used them for my dog's needs (I have the cutest jack russell in all the world) and I had no idea they even sold such things until I was browsing their site and came across their great pond supplies pages.

I couldn't believe the neat stuff and I had been searching all over the web for waterfall kits... for a decent price and dependable quality.

So that's where I got my stuff and below is a list of different size kits as well as other things you'll need for your project.

When you click on the links, they will take you to the Foster & Smith website where you can read all about the product. If you do find a product you like, your shopping is absolutely safe, easy, and secure.
