Default Waterfall Feature in front of tall Cedar Shrubs - Suggestions?


Yep and yetb a nother moeny pit to t throw yur $$$ into. Green algae
water, and sick fish and all the other asocated crap.......desgined to
suck yet more money from yu in an attempt to have a "little" pond that
is much harder to mnantain and keep than a larger one is..If your
gonna fool with a pond of any kind make it a decent sized pond or pay
hecll keeping it within the parameters needed for being decint without
spending tons of time and lots of money and headaches.A preform at any
cost is not worth the hassles and time involved.......for keeping GF
or koi or other ornamentals. Listening to CArol Gulley aka koi lo will
get your ass n a lot of trouble with how things are done......she is a
dumbass without a clue.

Would a hill for the waterfall look "out of place" in front of these

The most natural looking waterfalls are built into slopes or hillsides
above
the pond.

Frugal ponding since 1995.

===============================
A hill would be great, but I am working with a small area in that I
don't want the waterfall to take over my entire front yard. So in
reality, the hill will need to be rather steep and shallow if possible.
I would probably want to create the effect within a 5 - 7 ft depth
into a waterless pound (water disapearing into rocks or tiny pond on
the ground). * I am thinking waterless pond as I have a small child
and it will be within the front yard without a fence, so for safety and
legal reasons.)

I've been trying to search for some good examples online of small area
waterfalls, but haven't been able to find many.

Thanks,

RM

=============================
If you put in a small pre-form you can always fill it with rocks so a child
cannot fall in. Someday when the youngster is grown and you do have a
fence, you can remove the rocks. You will then have a nice little pond for
a few plants and goldfish.
