Thanks for showing us how to do a water fall. I have built my pond (6000ltrs) out of rocks some 34 years ago, but ever since tried to get the right water fall for it. You gave me some very good ideas, thanks for sharing. I am in Melbourne, Australia.
I'm starting a pond and waterfall this spring so found this very useful. By far the best pond build video I've seen. Love your relaxed style and presentation. xx
Beautiful, wish I had you here with me cause I'm getting ready to tackle a waterfall and pond myself as soon as the weather breaks. You gave me some really interesting tips, thanks.
Love it, wish I had this video before I did my small pond , would have set it up like this but in time will try do improvements. Thanks for sharing! Great job, lovely ending! Stay safe, stay blessed!
I think you present this really nicely - you should be on tv! And thank you - I had no idea where to start when making my waterfall. I started this morning and it’s looking good 😊
Ha! Thanks for your lovely comment! Wish I had some way of seeing people like yourselves efforts with pond and cascade building- somewhere to post pics....pleased it’s going well! Best, Ed
Thank you for the great info. Good tips on the construction and materials. You are my “Pond go to” man. I have to re-construct mine because of a leak. Which I have tried and tried to rectify but I still loose water. I love this design, I will try similar. Please keep showing us your creations.
Thanks! Indeed, it’ll Take a good year or so for the whole construction to ‘weather’ and establish and planting is essential to really finish the cascade off. I always look forward to seeing how these builds look a year or so later! Best, Ed
Thank you for clear, concise and simple explanations. Having just retired from being a nurseryman for 50 years my first project, starting in 2 weeks, is to build a 30m x 60cm recirculating stream in my own garden…..I’ve always avoided water garden features like the plague…..you have given us a great little resource, and anyone who enjoys couscous deserves great respect 🤢……or pasta🤮……just like spuds me!…..Thank you and best wishes for your future……Malcolm Hockham
Hi there, thanks for your great comment! I used to hate cous cous as well, but discovered a bit of spice and lots of meat makes it taste a whole lot better!! Good luck with your project! Best wishes, Ed
Genuine , natural guy , easy to watch . Doing a pond here in Morocco if you need a holiday , il pay your flight and free accommodation 👍🏼… Thanks for the tips
Ha! Thanks very much- would love to, but you’re need to stump up flights and accommodation for my wife and four kids as well- they’d never let me go alone!! Good luck with your build! Best, Ed
awesome video that helps me create my pond this weekend. just missed the part where you hide the foil, especially on the side with the bigger rocks and the transition from rock to soil without having the soil being washed into the cascade.
This is great. Really useful advice beautifully presented with all the right detail and good camera work. Sometimes the music made it a bit difficult to concentrate on what you were saying but I really enjoyed it. What I am struggling to find out is how to find the right pump and electrics and how to put them together. Im planning a cascade and making my old pond bigger. No matter how many videos I watch. I am still confused. Do I need an all in one pump or separate bits? Do I need electric? When i get to the online store. Its page after page of pumps and I am stumped. Any advice on electrics or solar for fairly shallow cascade into a wild life pond would be very welcome. Thank you:)
I hope by now you have your pond all ready and running. I am about to start digging my pond and have researched various videos and fish suppliers and do know that I need a power supply with an armour wire cable from our bungalow to the pond for airation and waterfall and fountain.
Great and very useful video,thank you. I wondered why you measured the centre line of the cascade and not the longest edge? Though I guess generally that's the best method as cascades, streams etc can have various turns.
Hi there- excellent question, which you’ve answered yourself(!)- the centre line will follow the basic flow of water, whilst the edges might meander and curve back and forth and not follow the line of flow! Thanks for watching and commenting! Best. Ed
Thanks for this - well explained and done with character. Did you use a spillway box as the entry point? Not sure it's called that - might be waterfall box. Either way the black thing you attach your outlet hose to and it spills out the other end. About to commence my first cascade project and wondering if I need one. They seem a bit steep for a bit of plastic.
Hi there! Thanks for your comment- in this instance I simply positioned the hose discretely through the rock wall at the top of the cascade (above the liner) and allowed the small depression/pool created right at the top to act as a header pool to slow the flow down slightly and create a more natural looking and sounding flow. Purpose built cascade feeders that you describe obviously work well, although as you say are rather expensive! A simple alternative is the use of a waterproof container (an old filter box/water storage tank) that is sunk into the ground behind the cascade and has a wide bore (3” plus) or two or more smaller bore outlets (dependant on your pumps flow rates) plumbed into into the side of the box (with a proper though tank connector) which discharge into the top of the cascade will also do the same job. As will a small ‘header/feeder’ pool incorporated into the design of the cascade, into which water is directed and from which this overflows into the main cascade. Use of any of these methods is for one reason and that is to slow the flow from the pump down and to create a more natural looking and sounding flow. Hope this helps! Best, Ed
@@CrystalClearAquatics thanks for that. I have an old filter box that might do the job. I'm just going to crack on with it now. It's time to act - I've watched enough waterfall "how to" videos! Although, as people say below, this is one of the best.
Thanks for your kind words! Re stocking density; although the fish themselves are happy and despite their continued breeding-frequently fish will stop breeding once their numbers are so great that surrounding natural resources are depleted, indicating that in this pond they’ve not met that limit yet-I would personally recommend halving their numbers. Much better to maintain lower stocking levels in ponds, which ensures less demands are put on the filtration system and ultimately less maintenance is required to maintain a clean and clear pond. I have discussed reducing numbers with this client so I’m sure at some point this will happen! Thanks for your comment! Best, Ed
Thank you. Your thoughts on angles at every waterfall? So rather than just a relatively straight line if it were to be like 90 degrees or so, how do you think it'd look?
Hey there! Usually when designing a series of falls I like to try and get some angles into each drop, creating a natural meander. Think about the main position you’ll be viewing and enjoying the falls from and try to position the spills so they can be seen almost head on from this angle to give the biggest impact. I have a play before I even start digging by laying the spill stones (the stones that will create the fall) onto the ground and positioning them at different angles to see how it might look, imagining the water flowing. Ultimately there are no rules-have fun! Best, Ed
I’m having a right nightmare with my new pond installation and waterfall. It’s a rigid pond liner and when I tried to build a cascade at a slight slope down to the water. I built the cascade on a sand foundation but the cascade rocks are slowly sliding towards the pond and the weight of them is buckling the edge of the pond liner. I’ve rebuilt it once but I want this next rebuild to be the last. Should I remove the sand foundation and put down cement, bricks, or just soil. I see you have soil but I am concerned soil won’t be firm enough and the rocks will slide again. The cascade is approximately 1 x 0.5m.Great video by the way! 👍🏻
Hi there! In this instance the cascade was built into an already pretty firm soil bank, so fixing them in place was a simple task, with the confidence that movement-if any-will be minimal. In your case if you were building on top of loose spoil-such as a bank of earth recently piled up from the excavation of your pond-then you’ll need to ensure the ground is well compacted before you begin to build upon it. I would certainly fix any base/foundation stones close to the pond edge with mortar, this will help prevent any of the higher rocks from sliding down and exerting forces on your pond shell. The rest of the cascade could be built dry stone, however I would always recommend fixing rockwork with either foam or mortar for a good job. Remember when building a cascade you want the fall of water to be WITHIN the earth bank and not on top. This will look more natural AND will provide some additional security helping to bed the rocks in properly and stop them moving. As for your pond shell disfiguring; pretty much every plastic preformed shell I’ve encountered (apart from fibreglass ones) tend to kink and crease at the edges unfortunately... Hope this helps! Ed
@@CrystalClearAquatics Thank you, you have really thrown some light into the matter. I shall make the pond edge foundations solid with rock and mortar as you say. Thank you for all the tips, and with your excellent video I have a much clearer idea. I hope you have a good Sunday! 👍🏻
Hi there- I definitely would try to avoid buying rocks from a garden centre- overpriced and generally all too uniform in size. Much better to go to a dedicated landscaping centre, a rock specialist or even better directly to a local quarry if you have one. Here you’ll find prices cheaper and more importantly a range of rock shape and size. As a last resort there are lots of online companies that will deliver ton loads of rock. Best, Ed
Hello sir very nice video and very nice work. Sir one question for you, do you work alone in this building ponds work. I want some inspiration because i am also newly starting this work. Thanks. Wait for your reply...
Hi there! Thanks for your kind words- I do work pretty much solo, although require help now and again, particularly with the more laborious pond builds- thankfully I have my fantastic labourer Dave to hand when I require help!! Good luck with starting off in this industry- enthusiasm and dedication will get you a long way!! Best, Ed
Hi great video, I’ve built a pond and I’m building a waterfall. Where did you get your stones from? Sounds like you said Horsham West Sussex as I’m in Crawley West Sussex
Hey there Dave, Thanks for watching and commenting- funnily enough I was servicing this pond and cascade recently- its matured very nicely, I need to do a ‘revisited’ video on this one I think! The stone used is local (to you!) ‘Horsham stone’ and I picked it up from Horsham stone over in Broadbridge heath, just outside Horsham. Best, Ed
HI there, thanks for watching and commenting! Distance between each fall is entirely up to you, but I would refrain from creating too large a drop (12” plus) unless you want a lot of noise (and splash) and are intent on creating Nigra falls!! A drop of only an inch or two between each stone is plenty to create a nice effect. I like to have a play- dry position stones, walk away and look form a distance to see how it looks, before finalising a height or position and setting the stone. Hope this helps and good luck! Best, Ed
Hi there, sorry for the slow response! Ideally the original pond lining should have enough excess around the edge to extend a little way up the cascade, ensuring that the cascade section of pond liner then has a good sized overlap over the top of the pond lining. This isn’t always the case or possible though and as long as the cascade lining extends down into the pond below potential max pond water level this will ensure all water from the cascade flows back into the pond and isn’t lost between the folds/overlap of the two liners. Hope this makes sense! Best, Ed
Thank you! In this instance I was using a sandstone called ‘Horsham stone’ also called ‘West Sussex sandstone’. Horsham stone have a website, check them out! Best, Ed
Hi there, although these fish are all very healthy and both the pond and filtration system are able to support such a number of fish I agree- the numbers should be halved and this is something I have recommended to this pond owner! Best, Ed
