A very small water feature

[JeffNY]

Its a friend of ours, I explained I don't do water features, but she insists I just 'try something'.
She doesn't want any 'bubbling rocks' or pillars, or over-sized vases with water coming out of them. She doesn't want a pond because she doesn't want to take care of it constantly (unless I explain they take very little maintenance). So, Im thinking, stack some larger rocks in a horseshoe shape, and build the back up a bit, have a little water fall down some 'steps'.

Any other ideas for this tight spot? Area is approx 7'x7'.

Do something like this just scaled back for your area. This is the perfect place for a Pondless waterfall, and to small for a pond in my eye's.

I was lookin at that, I like it. You really think I can shrink that down to 7x7? I'd love to

That's the nice thing about a pondless you can cantilever your waterfall over/into your water basin sa long as you have support. Have you ever built any type of waterfall? You can have a little basin in that area as small as 4x6x3 especially with a hose bib right there.

This would be my first.

That is one of the great things about Pondless Waterfalls. You can place the waterfall originating outside of the basin/reservoir or have it sitting smack dab in the middle if your design dictates or space is at a premium.

Yea, you can place a nice feature in that 7' x 7' area.

I think this a perfect location for a vanishing water falls. If you go to the video page on this web site search for pondbuilder. They have a great How-to video for construction of a mini cascade falls. This is a great product, it makes installation super easy.

Thanks, nice video. Where's the best place to buy the materials? I was looking at thepondguy's website, seems ok

Google "pondless waterfall kits" and you will have LOTS of choices.

I would go to www.mipond.com They are a distributor for pondbuilder and they have other quality products. You can order on-line or by phone. If you go on-line you have to register. It's not a big deal.
