Create a waterfall in the garden

What you need:

• Pond liner
• Stream liner
• Earth
• Circulation pump

If you want to create a waterfall in the garden, you need an uneven terrain where water can flow from the highest to the lowest point. If nature does not allow this in your garden, you have to create a suitable slope. For this purpose, you need to get earth and pile it up in the appropriate place.

Plan the waterfall

• You certainly don't have any natural water in your garden that you can channel into a waterfall. Accordingly, you have to create one from which the stream can originate. A is suitable for this pond preferably. For this you need pond liner, because this way you can design the pond particularly individually.
• Plan a pond at a higher level and a second, smaller basin into which the water can flow. You need a pond pump for the circulation. To fix the stream, you can get stream film in hardware stores or garden centers. This is offered in the role and simulates a stony natural underground.

• You should also plan appropriate planting. You can get a large selection of aquatic plants in garden shops. These should adorn the waterfall so that it looks as natural as possible.
• The higher you plan the hill with the pond from which the water is to flow, the more impressive the waterfall will look.


Create a pond with a waterfall in the garden - this is how it works

If you have a pond in your garden or want to build it, you might dream of a little ...

Create a stream in the garden

1. Prepare the pond from which the water will flow into the depths. Dig out the soil to the desired depth and insert the pond liner.
2. Prepare the waterfall by installing the stream liner. If there is a steep slope, you can fix this with stones, which you may fix with concrete.
3. Now cover the outlet basin of the waterfall with pond liner. Also install the circulation pump in the outlet basin. So that this can transport the water back into the starting basin, you have to lay a wide hose under the ground. Such systems are available in stores.
4. After installing the two pond basins and the watercourse, you can fill the upper basin with water and check that it flows down as planned. It should collect in the lower basin.
5. When the pump is completely covered with water, you can switch it on and check whether it is transporting the water evenly back into the upper basin.

Once the installation is complete, you can use your Stream plant. With the right choice of plants, the waterfall should look very natural.
