Rock Waterfalls

There’s nothing more peaceful than flowing water. Ever since ancient times, people have taken refuge near bodies of water, soothed by the sounds of trickling, splashing pools. Today, you can add a rock waterfall to your landscaping for your own peaceful retreat. Every property should have a focal point, a place that draws the eye and defines the space. Make yours a waterfall and you’ll create a place of tranquility.

 

There are several ways to add a rock waterfall to your landscaping. Here are four popular ones:

 

1. Waterfall into a pond. Use either an existing pond or establish your own. Then create a waterfall that splashes down rock after rock until it enters the pond, creating gentle waves as it does so.

 

2. Waterfall without a pond. This is one of the latest trends in landscaping. The water falls down the rocks and then enters a hidden tub at the bottom. Tubing then draws the water back to the top of the falls. A pondless waterfall takes less space and is less expensive to maintain.

 

3. Waterfall into a pool. If you have a swimming pool, add a rock waterfall in one corner along with planted material and you’ll transform your swimming area into a natural oasis.

 

4. Waterfall at the entrance of your home. Waterfalls do not have to be big centerpieces. Nestle a small rock waterfall among the flowers and shrubs at your front walkway and you will greet visitors with the soothing, resort-like sounds of water as they come to your door.

 

However you choose to add a rock waterfall to your landscaping, doing so will change your property into a peaceful, welcoming environment where you can get away from your hectic day, soothed by the natural sounds and beauty of pure water.
