• Lay the second strip of
geotextile underlayment
over the liner and along
the edge of the corner
where the waterfall will
enter the basin (Ex. 27).
This will protect the liner
from damage when setting
rocks along the plastic edge
of the basin to build the
waterfall.
STEP 11
BUILD THE WATERFALL AND ADD GRAVEL
• Once the liner installation is
complete, it is time to begin
the construction of the
waterfall.
• You can expect to use
roughly 1,000 pounds
(1/2 ton) of stone and
approximately 300 pounds
of 1" to 1.5" (2-4 cm)
diameter gravel (Ex. 28).
• A well-designed waterfall often consists of two frame
rocks and a spillway rock which create a natural-looking
passage for water flow (Ex. 29 and 30).

• Temporarily position the Waterfall Spillway at the intended
starting point of the waterfall.
NOTE: The waterfall should be built no more than 2' or
3' (61-91 cm) back from the corner of the basin, ensuring
there will be enough liner and pipe to properly connect the
Waterfall Spillway.
• Place two larger boulders to act as frame rocks on either
side of the intended passage of water. Then, place one
or more spillway rocks between the frame rocks
(Ex. 29 and 30). Small rocks and gravel can then be used
to fill in gaps between the larger waterfall rocks. The
waterfall is the focal point of the water feature, so take
your time and be creative.
• Place the remaining rocks along the edge of the basin in
locations that appear natural. Then, fill in any gaps using
smaller rocks or gravel.
NOTE: It is recommended to install lights (not included)
at this time. Refer to Step 12 to complete all lighting

installation prior to covering the remainder of the basin
with gravel.
• Cover the remainder of the basin with a layer of gravel.
The pump access panel should be covered but accessible
for pump removal or maintenance.

Ex. 27
ADD OPTIONAL LED LIGHTING
• Aquascape LED Garden and Pond Lighting (not included)
can be added to bring the water feature to life at night.
• The deck of the basin is covered with deck cylinders that
can be drilled to run low-voltage lighting cables beneath
the deck, keeping them out of view.
• Determine the desired location of each light and identify
which deck cylinders will need to be drilled. Then, using
a spade bit or hole saw, drill out a 3/4" (19.05 mm) hole
in each selected cylinder (Ex. 31). Do NOT modify areas
labeled "DO NOT DRILL."
• Run each lighting cable into the top of the drilled cylinder
(Ex. 32) and out through the access panel. Be sure to
make all necessary connections outside of the basin.

STEP 13
CONNECT THE WATERFALL SPILLWAY
Ex. 30
• Using a soil tamper, thoroughly compact the soil in the
future location of the Waterfall Spillway (Ex. 33).
• Position the Waterfall Spillway in front of the spillway
rock, on top of the liner (Ex. 34). Adjust the height of the
Waterfall Spillway to sit flush with the starting point of the
waterfall. Be sure that the spillway is set close enough
to connect the plumbing with the included 15' (4.5 m) of
pipe.
NOTE: A bed of gravel can be placed on top of the liner,
beneath the Waterfall Spillway, to provide a suitable base
and raise the height of the spillway to the desired level.
