Sometimes people look at a large sloping lot in the backyard and consider it a challenge. It’s hard to set up a croquet set, or play a game of bags on it. Unless of course, you live in northern climes and can turn that slope into a decent sledding hill. Even better though, is to transform a sloping yard into the ultimate backyard waterfall!

When a pond or backyard waterfall is built correctly, the water should be clean and clear. When water isn’t balanced, it can become brown or even green with excessive algae. Clear water lets you see the pretty pebbles at the bottom of the waterfall.

The homeowners enjoy a fire pit near the middle of the waterfall’s journey through the yard. Toward the back, you can see an outdoor fireplace with a screened-in gazebo nearby. There are plenty of places to sit and relax to the tumbling sound of the waterfalls.

A large picture window provides a place to pull up a chair and enjoy the scenery from inside. A stone stairway to the left of the waterfalls creates opportunity to explore the water feature up close.
