Default How to build an easy natural stone waterfall

Thanks Mike. That is how I have been building my waterfalls the last 15
years. I don't mound up any soil though, I just stack rocks at edge of
pond where I want the water fall to be and use at least three large flat
rocks with good "lip" on them for the water to spill over. Between the
large rocks are smaller ones stacked together for support. I make sure
all rocks are slightly titled forward and I do use some heavy plastic
underneath to direct all water into the pond. I place more rocks off to
the sides of the waterfall to help it blend in.

This past weekend I finished my "big dig" and my new pond is done with
waterfall and edging and I have just started landscaping around it. PICS
to follow in a few weeks :-)
