Adding a waterfall to your swimming pool can add immensely to the value of your property assuming buyers find a pool an attractive feature. In hot climates such as Florida, Texas, Southern California, New Mexico, and Arizona, it's almost certain that a pool can be a source of relief from intense heat. A swimming pool waterfall brings a dynamic element to the pool, providing soothing sounds. if the waterfall is built close to the edge of the pool, the structure can provide shade for those in the pool. Swimming pool waterfalls can be built from stone, rocks, or fabricated rock materials that are shaped to look like a real rock wall. Most often only the wealthy can afford swimming pool waterfalls, however in 2009 you may be able to find such a landscape addition affordable. If you want to introduce an unusual and visually pleasing feature to your backyard pool environment, ask a landscape architect about potential costs and construction requirements.

Water Garden Waterfalls

A waterfall in your backyard water garden can help to oxygenate the water that runs into your pond. That can keep plants and fish a lot healthier so a waterfall is a perfect match for a water garden. If a creek runs through your property, you may need permission from town or county governments to build a waterfall within the creek. Of course, for a water garden waterfall, you'll need to build a vertical structure of rock for the water to cascade over and a pond to receive the water. There are kits available at your local landscape supply company complete with pumps, rocks and pond liners. As well, you can buy pre-cast concrete forms that resemble stone or rock for the cascading structure. Building a water garden waterfall might be more complicated than you'd hoped for so hiring a local Boston landscaping contractor or landscape architect is a wise decision.

You can incorporate a variety of visual effects into your waterfall including multiple waterfalls, overhanging falls, and trickling sections. Just remember that your pond should not be way at the back where you can't see it. It's meant to be an active element of your landscaping, perhaps even the focal point. From the sounds of running water, to the colors when sunshine hits the water, to even the smells of the pond, a waterfall in your backyard can create a backyard paradise you can enjoy everyday.
