To make it look good you need real rocks (from a local quarry or
landscape gardening place. Build a big waterproof tray



Build a set of recessed steps into the bank, line with butyl, sit big rocks
on the steps, arrange small rocks and scree to hide the liner.

Unfortunately Mr Dyers CD rom seems to be no longer available but his
site gives some ideas on what can be done, if your an artist, and some
examples of what you won`t want to be seeing.......

Waterfall wants to be built in what Mr Dyer calls a waterproof bag,
the liner goes below all the rock work which is mortared on to it,
using landscape fabric to protect it. Liner should be well above
maximum water level all round and even be part of the same piece that
lines the pond or at least with a major overlap. All the flaps and
edges of the liner are hidden by rock work and planting. Pick your
ricks carefully.

Water should enter the fall at a few points , not just one hose at the
top, he has a great example where the final fall into the pond is
flowing a lot more water than the small stream apparently feeding it.

Pond itself should be dug so that the bottom of edging stones are
Below the level of the water, then the liner comes up the back of the
stones and is tucked under the turf. Intial edge of pond should be a
beach, with very slight slope covered in gravel and shingle,
impression should be of the edging stones `floating` in the water when
pond is full and beach allows for certain amount of level drop,
importantly the liner is never left showing.
