A waterfall in the garden is an original presence giving the place a touch of vitality and elegance and customizing your favorite the space of tranquility. The calming murmur of the water will remove the slightest trace of stress at the end of the day, while weekends get more interesting accents for you and your visiting friends. Don’t get discouraged by the thought that such a garden waterfall involves too much effort or a significant investment because this is not the case. See details as seen on Wikihow.com about how to build a pond with waterfall in the following material and give the green space around your house a whole new look.

Before you choose the place, think it should be in the vicinity of a source of electricity to connect the water pump. We would not insist on the initial steps we’ve already detailed in the article on building a garden pond, but we’ll move on to specific aspects of our theme. Starting from the premise you will build a small waterfall (otherwise the murmur of the water turns into an annoying noise, even for neighbors), dig and excavate the place where the pond will lie and then cover the pit with a liner, a special rubber membrane used for swimming pools and ponds, trimming the excess.

Set decorative stones on the edges and then pour pebble on the bottom of the pit for a pleasant and aesthetic appearance. If you want to give the water that stream like flowing motion, then dig the pit on different levels, with the area least deep at the end where you’ll place the water pump and where the waterfall itself will be. In this way, place stones, preferably wide stones to help spread water more easily and to create that effect of the waterfall.

Regardless of your skill, you will still need an electrical recirculating water system. In general, all water pumps come with specific information about the flow and pressure.
