Building a Pondless Waterfall on Flat Land

We built a Pondless Waterfall in our flat backyard. This video covers the steps we took to make it happen. It was a massive undertaking and definitely not a simple DIY project. But if you’re thinking of building one yourself, we hope this might be of some help and offer some tips and insights into what we learned along the way. In many ways it is a warning video on what not to do. So to help you with your research we’ve included some links below that are a bit more educational and specific and should lead you in the right direction. Best of luck and as always thanks for watching!
