Waterfalls

A waterfall can add the finishing touch to any pond, giving both tranquil sound and the visual effect of running water.

When selecting a waterfall or stream, consideration must be given to the surrounding landscape to ensure your chosen fall will compliment the existing rocks, paving and brickwork.

There are basically two types of waterfalls and streams

Natural rock falls

These are constructed of natural rock and either prelined or fibreglassed. This type of waterfall construction can be cosmetically pleasing but is both expensive and prone to leaking.

Pre-constructed waterfall and streams

The major benefit of this type of waterfall is that they are relatively inexpensive and offer leak proof guarantee. When pre-constructed falls were first introduced they were unrealistic and difficult to integrate into the surrounding landscape. However, over the last 10 years falls have been introduced that are difficult to differentiate from their natural counterparts. These falls are constructed from concrete, fibreglass and polyurethane.
