Build a Disappearing Waterfall

If you are thinking about building a Disappearing Waterfall (sometimes called a Pondless Waterfall) you need to set-up a step-by-step plan; having a plan in place will allow you to track your progress and build each stage of your waterfall in the proper order. With out a plan you might "obtain the cart before the horse" and have to take apart a portion of your waterfall to perform a step that should have already been finished.

Constructing a Disappearing Waterfall is an easy project for the do-it-yourselfer, and it could be completed in a weekend. With careful planning and a satisfying weekend of work in your own yard, you can have a beautiful water garden. It will be the focal point of your yard, and a gathering place for relatives and buddies.

What you would need: A Disappearing Waterfall kit, shovel, river rock 2-3 inches in diameter, decorative rock � -1 � inches in diameter, landscaping stone, foliage and plants.

A Disappearing Waterfall kit is a great way to get started. These kits contain just about everything you will need, such as a pump, tubing, basin, colorful spillway, glue and other products for construction. Naturally the rocks, stones and plants choices are left up to you; that way you need to use your imagination and make your Disappearing Waterfall unique.

There should be a 4" space between the basin and sides of the hole and the very best of the basin ought to be at walk out. Temporarily place the basin in to the hole: check to ensure the basin is level with the bottom and has the required 4" clearance on the sides. Take away the basin. (Use the excavated soil to partially build your waterfall mound.)

Step two 2: Cover the bottom and sides of the hole with an EPMD pond liner and protective pad; take care not to puncture your EPMD pond liner. (Place the protective pad close to the dirt and lay the EPMD pond liner next to the protective pad.) The size of the pond liner and the protective pad depends on how big is the hole.

Step 3 3: Fill the hole about 50 % full of water to help keep the pond liner set up.

Step 4: Place the basin in to the hole; take care not to damage the pond liner.

Step 5: Place your submersible pump in to the basin. Connect the tubing and electrical source to the pump.

Step 6: Fill the space between your pond liner and basin with river rock that is 2-3 inches in diameter. Fill to within 2 � inches of the top of the hole. Fill the hole with water.

Step 7: Build your waterfall to the height and width you desire.

Step 8: Install the waterfall weir.

Step 9: Run the tubing from the basin to the top of the waterfall and connect it to the waterfall weir.

Step 10: Establish the road that you want your waterfall to check out and cover the road with an EPMD pond liner and protective pad (underlayment). Place the pond liner and protective pad just as you did in step two 2. Run the pond liner and pad all the way from beneath the waterfall weir down to and overlap the basin by about 5 inches.

Step 11: It's time to decorate your waterfall with rocks and plants. Choose rocks that are common to your neighborhood and use the rocks to direct and control the flow of the water. (Flat rocks work especially well to slow the flow of the water and create the sound of running water.) Select hardy plants that are native to your area and fitted to a waterfall. Make your waterfall look as natural as possible.
