Outdoor waterfalls come in all shapes and sizes and make gorgeous focal points. As you plan your outdoor waterfall, you’ll need to think about two parts: the cascading structure for the falls, and the pool at the bottom – unless you are planning a pondless waterfall, that’s an option too. Let’s take a look at a few outdoor waterfall installation options, and what you’ll need to think about. 

Outdoor waterfall Installation: Location, Location

Do you have a spot in mind for your perfect outdoor waterfall? 

An outdoor waterfall installation in the front yard will turn neighbors’ heads by enhancing the curb-appeal of your home and add a focal point to a stunning front yard design.

In the backyard, a waterfall becomes a more intimate feature for your own enjoyment. 

Waterfalls can be built using already existing features on a property such as ponds, streams, or swimming pools or they can be built from scratch. They can be installed to use a natural slope on your property, or be fully constructed to suit the location you choose.

When thinking about location, consider how you want to enjoy your outdoor waterfall as well as where it will have a visual impact. And remember that waterfalls are all about sound. Where will you most enjoy the relaxing flow of falling water? 

Style

Simple or elaborate, rustic or modern, outdoor waterfall installation should suit the overall design of your landscape.  When considering style, remember that natural stone will look the most genuine, but there are many options. 

Consider the pond or pool that the water will fall into as well. If you are creating a new water garden on your property, how you want your pond to look? Will it have bridges or pathways? What plants or greenery do you want to see around your waterfall? Discuss your ideas with your outdoor waterfall installation contractor. 

Or, turn your backyard pool into a tropical oasis with outdoor waterfall installation. Add a waterfall to a jacuzzi area to bring tranquility, or have a grotto with a waterfall built for a sense of poolside mystery. Blend your pool area into the surrounding landscape with the help of a natural stone waterfall. There are so many options!
