Transform your backyard into an aquatic paradise with the addition of a tranquil waterfall. The soft sounds of a waterfall will bring countless hours of peace and relaxation into your life. It’s an appealing addition to any landscape and certain to become a focal point for parties and other gatherings.Here are some great waterfall features to get the ideas flowing.

Natural Rocks

By using rough rocks, you can create a natural waterfall with pools at the top and bottom that will make a perfect home for koi and other fish. Moreover, the sounds of the falling water will create a soothing natural symphony.

Paver Patio

Another popular feature is a paver patio nestled beside the plunge pool. This allows you to sit down and dip your toes into the water on a hot summer day. It also gives you a place where you can set up your patio furniture and enjoy the ambiance with your guests.

Water Wall

If you have limited space in your landscape, think about using a face made from rock or other materials built into the side of your home to create a water wall. The water will flow gently from the roof and cascade into a small pool at the bottom. This feature can be coupled with a fireplace to create an exhilarating balance between fire and water that is guaranteed to bring any evening to life.

Underwater Lighting

Many outdoor waterfalls include underwater lighting. This is especially stunning when a waterfall features a series of steps. The shimmering lights below the waves will create a moving effect that will flow across the landscape.

Driftwood

Wood is another beautiful addition to a backyard waterfall. Adding logs or pieces of driftwood creates natural beauty by mimicking forest and woodland environments, especially when paired with river rock and lush foliage. Having a natural waterfall facilitates a sense of harmony and balance with nature that everyone in the family is guaranteed to enjoy.
