1. 6 Tips for
Building a
Pondless
Waterfall

2. 1. Plan Your
Design
Before you start digging, sketch
out your waterfall design. Consider
the placement, the height of the
waterfall, and the length of the
stream. Visualize how the water
will flow and where the waterfall
will be most aesthetically pleasing.

3. 2. Choose the
Right Location
Select a location that
complements your landscape.
Ensure the area has adequate
drainage and is close to a power
source for the pump. Avoid spots
with overhanging trees to
minimize debris in the waterfall.

4. 3. Gather Quality
Materials
Invest in high-quality materials,
including a durable liner, a reliable
pump, and sturdy rocks. Quality
materials ensure longevity and
reduce maintenance needs. Opt for
rocks that are both attractive and
functional.

5. 4. Install the
Liner with Care
Lay the underlayment first to
protect the liner from punctures.
Then, carefully position the liner,
ensuring it extends beyond the
edges of the excavation. Smooth out
wrinkles to prevent leaks and
secure the liner with rocks and soil.

6. 5. Construct the
Waterfall Base
Start building the waterfall from
the bottom up. Place larger rocks
at the base for stability, gradually
layering smaller rocks as you
build up. This method ensures a
stable and natural-looking
waterfall.

7. 6. Position the
Pump Correctly
Place the pump in the lowest part
of the basin, ensuring it remains
fully submerged. Use a mesh
pump bag to prevent debris from
clogging the pump. Connect the
pump to the tubing that will carry
water to the top of the waterfall.
