Good Morning Lisa, I would love to have one in my yard. Unfortanately most that i see these days are in foreclosed home but your picture and video shows the beauty they were meant to inspire.

Good morning Lisa,

A cascading water fall is like music to my ears! It's soothing, calming and much appreciated. We have a water fall from our spa into our pool and I love to enjoy the tranquil moments :).

Good morning Scott,

Water features are wonderful, but they can be a bit pricey...I've been trying to justify the expense for one at my home as well.

Good morning Dorie,

I agree - the sound of a babbling brook, running stream, waterfall...very soothing, just what most of us could use after a hard day!

Water features are a big thing here in Southwest Florida. Just the sound provides a soothing feeling! Enjoy your day!

That is beautiful - great video. I wonder how much something like that costs to maintain?

Good morning Mark,

Many steps to follow, and of course the terrain is a big issue too.  So pleased that you watched/enjoyed this video.  Have a lovely Sunday!

Good morning Wayne,

Water features provide such a soothing and tranquil atmosphere...unless one is constantly trying to keep their pets out of it!  Have a lovely Sunday!

Good morning Wayne and Jean,

It will vary depending on the size, and your area's location (summer and winter months).  Different climates will require different maintenence.  Have a lovely Sunday!
