Pondless water feature ideas?

13 years ago

I am looking into some sort of water feature for my backyard. I would like something pondless, but I'm looking for something other than the typical "urn with gravel on the bottom." Can you suggest any resources for ideas on innovative pondless water features? Thanks, Rob

There are unlimited types of pondless water features. One thing you can do is google Pondless Water Feature, then choose the image display and look through all the pictures.

My personal favorites:

A waterfall type of pondless feature where the water just disappears into the stones at the end of the water falls.

Large millstone type (these can be handmade with hypertufa to save money).

Good luck.
