Patio Waterfall in Orlando, Florida

Imagine having dinner on your patio and listening to the gentle flow of water at it makes it way through the rocks and plants on your Florida patio.

This is exactly what this home owner had always envisioned for her lanai, sadly it took her having two features being built to get what she had wanted to be the focal point of her outdoor room.

The first attempt of a waterfall was done by her landscaping handy man. The home owner knew she had a problem the next morning when her pump was "screaming" and her patio was wet. After several attempts of the handyman trying to fix the multiple problems with the waterfall the client unplugged her waterfall and left it for several months. After looking at her "pile" of rocks for far too long she contacted Pondtastic Water Gardens.



Jim went out met with the Orlando homeowner, within seconds of looking at her pondless waterfall he found the first crucial rookie mistake, all the rocks were cemented together. Why is this a problem you might ask? Water follows the path of least resistance, the way this was build the water rolled right out of the feature onto the patio.

On day one of construction the second rookie mistake was discovered, EPDM liner was not used on the waterfall it was only used in the basin .



In a matter of a day and a half the feature was completed and we have a very happy client who loves to entertain on her Florida room and loves her pondless waterfall.
