[kinnanscaping]

I am new to owning my landscaping business, so bear with me. But, I have also been around the business off and on for 15 years. As I have started my company, I have started to work with a guy that employed me in high school. WAY back then he was doing pretty elaborate falls, streams and ponds. Just this last season I did the work on an extensive fall/pond he designed. The guy is a professional, but here's the thing...
He is bare-bones. Falls and stream liner? Buy it at the salvage yard from flat roof tear-offs (its all made by Firestone anyway). Pumps, hoses, fittings? Go to an industrial supplies wholesaler. Forget aquascapes. Before this website, I had never heard of "bio-falls," "boxes," and the like. I am sure that somebody out there can give me a million reasons for the benefits of said items from aquascapes and other vendors, but I am not convinced yet. You all may create much larger ponds beneath individual falls, too, I don't know. This is just my two cents.

Anyway, he uses a skimmer box in the catch pond at the bottom. At the falls "source" he just tucks the open end of the hose under the stones he has selected to be the "spring source." Nothing fancy, nothing complicated, double pad the falls, glue and seal the liner, and great results IMO.

I am now going to try to attach a short video of the falls we completed in October. Or can I post video on here?
