How Do You Build a Pondless Waterfall?

A pondless waterfall is a great way to bring the sights and sounds of running water to your yard because you get the benefits and natural beauty of an ecosystem pond without the maintenance of fish and extra filtration components. These amazing “pondless water fall” water features can be adapted for almost any space whether you’re desiring something big or small, gentle or dramatic, you can create a pondless waterfall that’s perfect for you and your yard.

At Dreamscapes Watergardens, we design and install pondless waterfalls (also known as disappearing waterfalls) for families all over the Central Pennsylvania area. But in this blog, we’re going to tackle the DIY question and answer of "How do you Build a Backyard waterfall?" Building your own pondless waterfall is absolutely possible if you have the right tools, determination and passion.

What is a Pondless Waterfall?

A pondless waterfall is a recirculating waterfall without a pond at the bottom. A waterfall works by pumping water from a large, hidden in-ground reservoir up and through what is called the  “waterfall spillway”. This allows the water to flow back down into the basin. These recirculating systems are easy to install and require very little maintenance. They are perfect for folks who aren’t home as often to care for fish or water balance. If you travel often or work a lot, a pondless waterfall can be unplugged at any point for a week or so at time without compromising the ecosystem.

How to Build a Waterfall:

For beginners, we definitely recommend the Aquascape Pondless Waterfall Kits, as these kits come in different sizes and include all of the components you need (except for the rock/gravel) for a beautiful pondless waterfall. From the liner, all the way to the plumbing and pump and instructions, Aquascape kits are the best bang for your buck. But before you select a kit, make sure to get yourself acquainted with the mechanics of a pondless waterfall, the space you have to work with and real desires you have for the “end product”.

Once you know EXACTLY what you want, we recommend beginning your digging and excavating process so that you can measure your area for liner purposes correctly. We often find people coming back for bigger pieces of liner and upgrade components because what they THOUGHT they wanted and what they ended up doing changed during the first step of the installation process.

Check out the video below for a very specific step-by-step set of instructions on building a waterfall.

So Now What??

Pondless waterfalls can roam expansively across your yard. Or, they can tuck in right by your front entrance and greet visitors. From 4’ to 40’, the sky is the limit when it comes to design elements of a pondless waterfall—they fit everywhere! They’re adaptable, too – you can always add a pond later. If you have questions, we’re here to help. If you read this blog and decided you’re interested in a pondless waterfall but don’t want to do the work yourself anymore, we can help you out there, too. Call Dreamscapes Watergardens, Inc. at 717-272-6555 or connect online. We’ll help make your dreams of a pondless waterfall a reality.

Dreamscapes also carries a full line of pond supplies from water treatments and fish medications to pond pumps, heaters, fountains, plants and fish! Tadpoles and snails are also available at our Aquatic Retail Center in Lebanon, Pennsylvania seasonally while supplies last from May-August.  If you think you need it, we have it!

What are Aquablox?

6/18/2018

0 Comments

 
Aquablox are made by Aquascape Inc. for the purpose of optimizing space for the reservoir for pondless waterfall, disappearing waterfalls and fountain. We often relate them to four-side milk crates because of their physical appearance. Aquascape Inc describes their Aquablox product like this: "A lightweight structure that provides area or void space for various water storage projects and water features".

Benefits of Using Aquablox over Gravel

Picture
  • Over 3 times more water storage capacity than grave because Aquablox hold approximately 7.4 gallons of water per cubic foot, as compared to gravel, which holds approximately 2.2 gallons of water per cubic foot
  • Extra water storage capacity means less time topping off reservoir due to evaporation
  • Easier to clean and less prone to clogging than traditional gravel basins
  • The ability to hold more water per cubic foot allows for smaller reservoir footprint
  • Less labor required to excavate and move gravel for basin
  • Uses less liner and geotextile underlayment than reservoirs constructed with gravel

So Now What???

Professional Waterfall Renovation in Carlisle, PA

8/7/2017

0 Comments

What do you do when you have an existing water feature that leaks a whole, whole lot and you decide you wish it looked different, too? Get Dreamscapes to renovate it into a piece you LOVE and a waterfall that works! Water feature/water garden renovations make up the bulk of our projects because the possibilities are endless and facelifts on water features can change EVERYTHING--bringing new life to existing areas.  In this case, though, we tore out the entire old water feature for this MAJOR pondless waterfall upgrade in Carlisle, Pennsylvania (PA).

Carlisle, PA Waterfall Project Details:

The original waterfall was roughly 3'x5' long with a 1'x10' long trough shaped pooling portion at the bottom. We were able to re-use about 3 tons of the existing stone and even the existing biofalls to do this Carlisle watergarden renovation into a 10-12 foot wide waterfall that has 3 different starting points and completed with underwater lights to allow for evening enjoyment.
Picture
The homeowner LOVES it---the set up of the rocks create different types of falls: some more crashing/faster than others and allows so much more of that beautiful water flowing sound than the initial waterfeature. The aquatic plants will continue to become more lush as they grow-- creating a more natural look. We can't wait to see photos of it lit up at night. What do you think?
