Side View

This waterfall from the Barton's pond is about 15 feet high and cascades down from the side of the house and flanks the outdoor stairway. You need a very strong pump with plenty of lift to achieve this kind of flow. The rocks are placed in no symetric order and plants mingle among the rocks naturalizing the waterfall to its surroundings.

Here's the same waterfall. It starts at the top of the hill - a perfect placement! This shot give you a better view of how the rocks are placed.

As if one waterfall wasn't enough! Look at the sheeting effect you get when you have the water flow over a straight edge. This lends a formal touch.

The Barton's 2nd waterfall drops in a sheet of water about 10 feet. This waterfall drops into the main and deep part of the pond where the koi and goldfish are located.

A lot of rock work went into the construction of this pond. It's very noticeable here in this shot taken from the side of the pond.

We leave the Barton's pond and go to the Amey-Field's pond. Notice the natural and serene beauty of this waterfall. It has a step-like appearance.

It's hard to make the head of the falls look natural but it's done quite eloquently here.

This part of the Amey-Fields waterfall looks like something you'd walk up upon while hiking. It's hard to believe it's manmade.

The Bermans did not have a lot of space so they made the most of their space with this compact but natural-looking waterfall.

The Carroll's pond and pool are side by side and so are the waterfalls. The water from the pond enters into the water fall on the right. The water from the pool enters the one on the left.

From there, the water travels down to the Carroll's 2nd waterfall which is a straight rock. Add more gph to this waterfall and you'd have more of a sheeting action.

Here's another example of a waterfall for a pool that mimics the waterfall from the pond. The Fletcher's pond waterfall has it's origin up about 20 more feet while the pool waterfall begins right beside the pool.

The Fletcher's waterfall is actually several in a chain that flows down the hill. Here's the 1st of the chain.

The Fletcher's last waterfall ends up at the goldfish pond beside the pool.

The Garrin's waterfall is at the end of a very long stream. Water cascades over flat stones placed very level.

Here's the side view of the Garrin's waterfall.
