How to build a garden stream water feature



This video shows you the full process involved in building a garden stream water feature. This natural looking and relaxing garden stream is built using pond liner and concrete. A small submersible pond pump is used to return water back to the top of the garden stream. Pebbles are used around the edge and bottom of the garden stream to create a really natural look.

    Great video!
    Do you by any chance do voice over work for the Calm app? Soooo relaxing 😌

    This is exactly what I have been looking for, thanks for the inspiration! How much height in cm’s does the stream drop from the beginning to the end?

  4. Chris Persiva

    Hi can you tell me where you got your pump from please? The project looks great and I want to do it ASAP! Just trying to work out costs! Thanks!

    Thanks for sharing this! I'm looking into building something similar for my front yard, and you did an amazing job here. How deep would you guess the stream became after you removed the pebbles? I live in an area of the U.S. that has a climate fairly similar to where you are (I'm guessing), so just wondering how deep I should make it to avoid evaporation during the summer months.

    Hey man. Great build. Out of curiosity, did you tussle with the idea of adding a filter to the pump system? Or is one already in place to keep algae etc down?

    Were there any issues getting the concrete to adhere to the liner?

  9. BP VFR94

    Could you give me some information about the concrete? Like which brand? strength? how much water in the mix? how thick is it laid in? do you lay in bottom then sides? how long to let it dry? do it have any reinforcement? etcetera? It's exactly what I'd like to have. Thanks much!!!

    Looks amazing. Do you have to replenish the water? Does it drain away or need to be topped up?

    I have become obsessed with putting in a water feature in my back yard. want a natural stream flowing thru yard, which has just a slight incline. THIS is it. what I want. I can't tell you how many videos I have watched on ponds, waterfalls, and streams. Ilove your approach. I feel relieved by your approach- to go/ do/ set/ plant/ walk away. come back. adjust, add, subtract to just right. I'm wanting to recreate a walk in the woods and have let my urban yard grow a bit, to see what plants want to come up naturally, gently modifying and letting things be. I use a weed eater with a short line to trim, so I can see what flowers and plants want to be there but have been killed off in the past. It's been so rewarding. Now I'm ready for my babbling brook. thank you thank you. subscribed 🙂

    Fantastic stream! Thank you for the chronological perspective. It really helps to see how this project evolved over time, which is pretty much how a garden hobbiest like myself does things.

    Excellent advice. I am looking to change my 'dry bed' feature into an actual 'stream' feature. It is away from a power supply. Would there be a suitable non-mains pump available?

  26. jacqui rose

    This is just fantastic. I have the same kind of garden and this has inspired me greatly ❤️👍🏻

    How do you run the electrical is it something you use an extension cord for and bury the cord but not the plug?

  30. Ray Stroud

    Very good. I did something similar in 2019 and like you, I found that the birds were into it straight away. On hot days, it's great to watch them splashing about. I find the birds needs shallow water to bathe in, so I had to add pebbles rather than remove them.

  33. Michael Loach

    Thankyou for some great advice. We have just completed the the basics of our pond & stream & although it maybe twice the length of yours I'm surprised you do not have a UV light! We have a Powerful pump (16000 LPH) & a UV light that can cope with that. Thanks again for the tip on Concrete, that may be the next job. Wishing you all the best….

    lovely stream, and so nice to see one made outside of USA – i love the American ones, but they are often too big for tiny UK gardens!

    Would be good to see a diagram (or description) of the dimensions/levels – esp how much did each level drop down from the one before?

  35. Deborah Ocampo

    What a great relaxing voice this man has which makes the video even more nice….he also has a great way of explaining it…and it's a great video..brilliant result..thank you.. Will look for any videos you make…wish you was a new reader .with that voice

    That’s what I tend to do. Create something as a starter. Stand back with a cup of tea. Look at it again and improve on the first one. Stand back again, have another cup of tea. Look at the project again and modify on it. I find this is the best way for me. But then I’m back and fore to the toilet 😂😅. Like the video 👍👍👍

    I remember this guy. As his back garden was on a hill and water was coming out of the ground at the top of his garden. . Because it was there for a couple of years, he thought he had an underground spring. He decided to build a big water feature out of cement. Couple of ponds, running streams and water falls. No sooner he built it. The water board came along and mended the broken underground pipe 😂😂 it turned out not to be a spring
