Follow the steps below to create a water feature that not only captivates the senses but also enhances the ecological balance of your garden, or get in touch with our team to learn more.

1. Design Your Dream Feature

The first step is envisioning your water feature. What do you want it to achieve? Is it a serene babbling brook, a majestic waterfall, or something uniquely yours? Consider the space available and how the water feature can blend with your garden’s existing elements. Use stakes and strings to outline its shape and levels on the ground, providing a clear visual guide.

2. Choose the Right Spot

Location is crucial. A multi-level water feature needs a slight slope to naturally guide the flow of water. If your garden is flat, do not worry! Our expert team can create elevation changes with strategic landscaping techniques. Ensure the spot you choose is visible from your favourite garden sitting areas to maximize enjoyment.

3. Gather Your Materials and Install the Base

To create your water feature, gather essential materials like pumps, liners, rocks, and aquatic plants. At Fontana Ponds & Water Features, we offer high-quality supplies, ensuring durability and performance. Make sure to select stones and plants that harmonize with your garden’s theme.

Install a pond liner in your designated area to prevent leakage, ensuring it is smooth and secure. Set up a pump system to circulate the water effectively, maintaining a healthy and vibrant ecosystem.

4. Build and Add the Finishing Touches

Stack natural rocks to form the tiers of your feature, placing a flat stone at each level’s edge to create spillways for cascading water. Intersperse aquatic plants among the stones to add vibrancy and life.

After assembling, fill the feature with water and test the pump. Adjust the stone placement and water flow to fine-tune the sound and visual effect of your feature.

Enjoy Your New Paradise

Finally, you can sit back and enjoy the melodious sounds and stunning visuals of your new multi-level water feature. After all, it is not just a garden addition—it is a lifestyle enhancement.
