About this Event

Build-a-Waterfall Workshop (Hands-On Class)

Ready to bring the sound of running water to your own backyard? Join us for our Build-a-Waterfall Workshop—a hands-on experience designed for DIYers who want to learn how to build a beautiful pondless waterfall from the ground up.

For just $40, you’ll work side-by-side with our experienced water feature artists as we walk you through the entire process step-by-step. This isn’t just a demonstration—you’ll actually get your hands dirty and be part of the build.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to properly dig and prepare the basin
  • Installing and setting up the system components
  • Rock placement and waterfall construction techniques
  • Leveling and finishing for a natural, professional look
  • Tips and tricks to ensure long-term success

What to expect:

  • A fun, relaxed, and interactive learning environment
  • Hands-on experience building a real waterfall
  • Expert guidance and the chance to ask questions throughout
  • Lunch provided

⚠️ Come prepared to get dirty—wear outdoor work clothes!

At the end of the workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to purchase materials on-site and take everything you need home so you can start building your own backyard paradise right away.
