Key Takeaway: Don’t be afraid to double up.
2. Bold and Wide Waterfall

Great for wide-open spaces, this wide waterfall empties into a large pond. The big boulders to the side make for an overall bold statement. This waterfall made the list because it makes an impression without overpowering and leaves you with a sense of spaciousness and the freedom to stretch out!
Key Takeaway: Be bold!
3. Narrow and Winding Waterfall

This third picture shows a waterfall that fits the homeowner’s backyard - narrow enough to provide space in the rest of the yard and winding so that the full length of the waterfall can be enjoyed. The height of this waterfall and the large boulders can be an attractive contrast to the rest of your surrounding landscape, whether you live in the city or the country.
Key Takeaway: When space is limited, contrast with length and height.
4. High Falls

This multi-layer waterfall is great because of the height from which the water flows down. The other advantage of this design is that the landscaping allowing for such height creates privacy from neighbours as well as a sound barrier, too.
Key Takeaway: The higher the waterfall, the greater the sound.
5. Triple Cascading Waterfalls

Not only is this a double waterfall (left and right), this waterfall has 3-tiers and cascades into ponds that gradually get bigger! The designer has also incorporated a lot of tropical-looking foliage to make you feel like you have your own bit of paradise.
Key Takeaway: Our eyes love designs in groups of 3.
6. Wide and Narrow Waterfalls

Depending on your geographic location and existing landscape, you may be able to incorporate something like this in your backyard if it is very rocky. Even if you don’t have rocky terrain, you can buy large boulders but it will be expensive to recreate this. Regardless, this is such a natural look that you may feel like you’ve just walked around a bend in the forest to discover this beautiful scene incorporating both wide and narrow waterfalls.
Key Takeaway: Try working with your natural landscaping.
7. Small Corner Waterfall
