With a pond, a garden can only gain in aesthetic expression and coherence. If you want to add a sensual touch to your water oasis, a waterfall is a good idea. Because both the eyes and the ears can feast on this.
How do I design a pond with a waterfall?
To create a pond with a waterfall, you can use a natural stream with natural stones and air stone or a modern water fan pump attachment. Pay attention to the background noise and consider a timer for the pump.
The charm of the waterfall
When hiking through nature, waterfalls are always a reason to marvel and linger. The water, which falls smoothly down even the most jagged slopes due to gravity, is simply fascinating. And the acoustic impression caused by the noise, which sometimes seems mysterious and sometimes majestic depending on the size of the waterfall, also has its own individual charm.
That's why including a waterfall when designing a pond in the garden promises to boost your mood. Depending on the pond design, different waterfall styles will of course also fit. The main stylistic distinction lies primarily in the degree of naturalness.
It is important to consider the background noise in advance, which can turn from graceful into stressful over time. If necessary, consider integrating a timer into the pump or not allowing a gradient to be too great.
Of course
With a natural pond, it is of course most stylistically appropriate if you design the waterfall close to nature. There are no limits to creativity when building it yourself. A stream lined with natural stones looks very authentic. At the beginning it is fed by an air stone and at the end its water flows into the pond through a small gradient. If you would like to build everything yourself, you can also use a stone you collected yourself for the pump-operated spring and have the stonemason drill through it for the water supply.
Modern-elegant
For architecturally defined, formal ornamental ponds, waterfalls can be elegantly realized using water fan pump attachments (€36.00 at Amazon). They form a wide, shimmering stream of water and emphasize the formal character of the pond with their accentuated edges. Such water fans can simply take on the role of a waterfall. An alternative with a stream would be an air stone in a geometrically clear shape, such as a ball, whose fine-film water pours onto a straight metal inlet.
