In many gardens, a small or larger pond is simply a must: whether as an ornamental pond, as a fish pond or even as a swimming or bathing pond, water is a strong design element that leaves plenty of room for creativity. A simple water basin in the garden can be particularly spiced up with an artificial waterfall.
How can I build an artificial waterfall in my garden?
To build an artificial waterfall yourself, you can use natural stones, stacked stone slabs or repurposed objects such as clay pots. A suitable pump with the appropriate delivery rate is required to keep the water circulating.
Materials and ideas for an artificial waterfall
An artificial waterfall in the garden can be built yourself from numerous materials. There are many ideas for this. If you prefer a natural style, natural stones or even stacked flagstones are a good idea. But old, misused objects such as large clay pots or bowls, coffee pots and the like can also be converted into a waterfall - in this case there are no limits to your imagination. In addition, an artificially created waterfall does not necessarily have to plunge into the depths - you can also gently create the slope as a staircase. The only important thing is to always have the right pump with a suitable delivery rate that leads the water from the collecting basin back to the source.
Tip
A garden on a slope, where the natural terrain can be optimally exploited, is perfect for creating an artificial waterfall.
