Prepare the basin and pump. use a two inch hole saw bit and drill holes every four inches in the bottom third of the pump basin (figure c and photo 3). repeat the process with a one inch hole saw bit for the middle third, then use a 3 8 in. bit for the top third. prime, cement and attach the hose adapter to the pump. 7. turn on the power for the pump and check that the water is flowing correctly. when the water begins running clear, move the pump over to the start of the waterfall and turn off the water from the garden hose. make the pump less conspicuous by covering it with gravel or burying it in foliage. 8. Dig out a hole outside the pond for the filter and pump box. excavate the stream for the waterfall portion. the hole should be at least 6 inches deep to account for the flowing water. ensure that you are digging out steps so that the waterfall can flow down the slope. the larger the steps, the more dramatic the effect.

Set the frame in the hole and level it (photo 1). then spread a 1 in. layer of sand over the bottom. cut a square of pond liner about 2 ft. wider and longer than the inside dimensions of the frame and lay it in place. fold the pond liner to fit the inside corners and let the extra drape down the outside of the frame. Position the pond liner from the basin toward the upper streambed, lining the outline of the waterfall with the liner. since you’ll put rocks on top, there is no need to secure the liner. make sure to allow the excess liner to accumulate at the base of the reservoir. 10. build up the waterfall with rocks.
