A waterfall in our backyard that we recently constructed from a kit. This is a pondless waterfall which means there are fewer safety and maintenance considerations.
See "Boise Pondless Waterfall - A View Over Four Years" to see how it developed over time.
Step-by-step photos of the waterfall under construction can be found here

DIY type of person? Well, I’ve done small scale projects before but my brother and father would laugh at the notion. No, I did this one pretty much by the numbers with the instructions from several books and the kit itself. The challenge wasn’t technical, really since the kit was reasonably self explanatory. The challenge was more stylistic. I had to go through several dry runs in laying the stones to make sure was going to have the effect I wanted. Good luck with yours!
