Default using transformer to power pump?

I'm trying to avoid the hassle of running 110v to a small water
feature. There's no easy, nearby electrical access, so I'm afraid an
electrician would cost some $$. Has anyone tried using a transformer
to convert to 12vac at an outdoor outlet, run low voltage cable to the
water feature, then used another transformer to step it back up to
120vac at the pump? Can you just buy two transformers and use one as a
stepdown, and another as a stepup? The pump is pretty small, so not a
lot of power is needed.
