DIY Waterfalls

A Pondless® Waterfall is a recirculating waterfall or stream without the presence of a pond that adds beauty and elegance to your backyard. DIY waterfalls offer opportunities to relax and unwind and provide refreshment for birds and butterflies. A backyard waterfall is ideal for families with young children or pets that love to play in water. Pondless Waterfalls can be easily installed almost anywhere in your yard and have a simple recirculation system that requires very little maintenance.
