A water feature of any kind always makes a garden or other outdoor space more attractive and inviting, and if you want one, I’d strongly recommend a waterfall. A waterfall with or without an additional pond can be a nice idea for any garden, and it may feature different looks, so you will definitely find a cohesive solution for your personal backyard. Take a look at some ideas that we’ve gathered!
Modern Waterfalls
If you have a modern, contemporary or minimalist backyard or garden, you may go for a modern waterfall that will be a perfect match. It can be styled as a piece of glass with descending water, a pond clad with concrete or stone and with a waterfall or even a wall waterfall with built-in lights. You may go for a series of modern vessels that will act as waterfalls flowing into each other. Such a solution will highlight the style of the space.

Natural Waterfalls
A natural-looking waterfall is a good idea if you have a natural or relaxed garden or backyard, so you may go for natural waterfall with an additional water body like a pond or even without. The size of your waterfall depends on the amount of space you have, and you can make it more or less descending. If you don’t have any slopes, create one yourself with rocks and pebbles you have. Line up the waterfall with rocks and stones for a more natural look, add greenery and blooms around. If you want to accent it, build in some lights. The overall look and style of the waterfall depends on the style of your garden – usual, Japanese, Zen or any other. Get inspired by the ideas below and build your own waterfall in the backyard!
