The first pond I built, I hadn't done any research--was just a homeowner trying to DIY in my own backyard. I brought in alot of soil for my waterfalls area and compacted the hell out of it. I then dug a hole--basically made a biofalls out of the mound of soil ( a very large mound--not a volcano looking thing). I then built shelves in the soil, installed liner and put in rocks. The hose ran over the liner and I anchored it to the bottom with large rocks...then pea gravel on top. I planted that area with bog plants and it was actually a pretty decent waterfall (for my first time).
The biofalls box is definately easier. I don't think I would ever attempt building a waterfall area out of just rocks and mortar.
