The pond is finished - what's next? A waterfall of course!

We opted to use less "conventional" materials that we've seen in most magazines and books on pond design. We wanted an 8 foot vertical splash and the orchestra of sounds that water cascading over many heights and depths provides. It took many trips to the rockyard to transport over 4 tons of Arizona Buff sandstone, several tons of concrete block, brick, and dozens of bags of cement, mortar and waterproofing materials. We bought pigment to color the mortar, and found an excellent waterproofing material that is applied with a brush...We now have the building blocks...next comes construction of our masterpiece! This photo is where it all started...here's how we did it.
