I'm trying to make a small creek leading to a very small pound in my garden,I also want to have the water falling off of stones.
Does anyone have any photos that they can post for me to look at and some-what copy.
I have a 15 year old helping me and I have tryed to tell him what I see in my mind but he just can't see it;-))))
Thanks,Ann

Here's a couple photos of my small waterfall; one with the water flowing and one with it turned off. If you want a sheen of water flowing over such as I did, you will need a flat surface rock for it to flow over. I used expanding construction foam to attach the flat rock to the rubber liner so that water would be forced to flow over and not under the flat rock. The flat rock must be tipped slightly downward towards the waterfall to create the sheen. If you want the water to fall on the supporting rock(s) then to tilt the flat surface rock upward. I hope that makes sense.

Waterfall with the water turned off. Because of the algae, it's difficult to see, but I used a large volcanic "feather rock" as the base rock to support the flat surface rock on top.
