Water Garden Waterfall & Backyard Ponds
A Water Garden Waterfall Is A Special Garden Feature!
An outdoor pond waterfall is probably the most popular addition to ponds. For many people it is simply an assumed part of water garden design. Although not for everyone, outdoor pond waterfalls have many benefits. Pond waterfalls create an aesthetically pleasing backdrop to landscape design. They can be designed in many styles, from a natural look to something formal. Formal outdoor pond waterfalls are typically devised with a geometric shape. They often tumble over a straight edge. A waterfall in your garden can be designed to suit your tastes. They can be large, small, high or low. You can add a small water course that leads to the falls or have a small pool that spills over into a larger pond. Please visit my page on waterfall designs to learn more about how to choose the right stone and how to place it for great waterfall designs. Well, not really noise reduction as much as noise distraction. If you have a problem with noise from nearby roads, railroad tracks or industry, you may want to build a waterfall into your water garden. The sound of falling water can also provide you with a bit of privacy. Have you ever sat in your garden with a friend and felt like everyone on the street could hear your conversation? Or wished you couldn't hear the neighbors talking? A waterfall can distort nearby conversations just enough so that they are not clear enough to be understood. Aside from the advantage of noise reduction, what could be nicer than listening to the sound of a water? Experiencing an outdoor pond waterfall certainly adds to the total landscape ambiance. Extremely useful design ideas for backyard waterfalls and garden ponds can be found at Your Garden Ponds Center. You will find very helpful information, including pictures and a great waterfall video. Water falling introduces extra oxygen into your pond. This is a benefit to the health of your fish. If you have pond fish, adding a waterfall will allow you to keep more fish in a smaller water garden. Waterfalls are typically powered by a small submersible pond pump. The pump that runs your waterfall can be used to feed a pond filter. Filters help control algae and fish waste that can lead to murky or green water. Adding a pond waterfall to your landscape design will bring you tranquility and years of enjoyment. One last note....when designing your water garden waterfall, it is best to integrate it well into the terrain of your land, by making sure it is placed at an elevation higher than your pond. This adds to the natural look. Designing in this way is more important for a naturalistic pond and waterfall than a formal pond.

A water garden waterfall incorporated into a natural pond can be made of beautiful boulders. Moss rock is exceptionally attractive if your pond has a fair amount of shade.
