The Beauty of a Pondless Waterfall

Your Dream Come True
If you close your eyes and really concentrate, you can picture and almost hear the rushing sounds of a beautiful waterfall. You think back to your childhood, when taking walks in the woody forest on vacation or at a relative's house always put your mind at ease. And your favorite thing about those trips? The rocky stream and waterfall that you could run your hands through, while you listened to it slap against the slick, wet rocks, of course. While your brothers and sisters were trying to pick frogs out of the pond, you were focused on the gorgeous frame of the waterfall and how the majestic boulders held up the water as it gushed over them to the pebbles below. If only there was such a thing as a waterfall without a pond ... ah, the dreams we all have.

What You're Missing
Well wake up from that dream or you'll miss the beauty of the Pondless Waterfall. Yes, a Pondless Waterfall is just what you think it is … a waterfall without a pond. After all, a pond isn't for everyone, but very few people can deny the breathtaking beauty of a gentle waterfall. That's why the Pondless Waterfall was developed perfect for those who don't want a full-fledged pond, but would like to add a little water to their yards.

How It Works
The Pondless Waterfall is like an oasis in the midst of a green grass lawn. It rises up and out of the ground and as quickly as the water falls, it disappears once again. Without getting too technical, a hole is dug (quite a bit deeper than your normal pond), and is then lined with rock and gravel and filled with water. That water is then pumped out of the rocks and gravel, through piping, to a BIOFALLS filter, spilling over the falls into the rocks where it “disappears,” and the whole process begins again – the ultimate circulatory system! Since the water level never pools above the rock and gravel, it gives the appearance of a Pondless Waterfall.

Why A Pondless?
Besides your fond childhood memories of gorgeous waterfalls, there are several other reasons to have a Pondless Waterfall of your own. Some people don't want a pond because of the liabilities of standing water and children. Some don't want a pond because they don't want to have to worry about taking care of fish, especially if they leave for long periods of time. Still others just don't have room for a big pond, but can't live without the sound of water. Cost is also a factor sometimes, and the Pondless Waterfall can end up being significantly less money to build than a pond.

It Doesn't End There!
Perhaps the greatest thing about the Pondless Waterfall is the fact that if you want to get a full-fledged pond, you can always leave a room for expansion and you or your contractor can build onto your existing Pondless Waterfall. The Pondless Waterfall is perfect for people who are just getting their toes wet in water gardening, or for those who just want the pleasant sound of water in their backyard. Jump in – the water's perfect!
