Place polished stones or rocks near the archway so that water falls on them, creating a waterfall effect within your garden space.
Pro tip: You can even repurpose old window frames and make a DIY outdoor water wall on your own.
Stone water wall
Water trickling down stone walls is one of the most popular ways to create a calming effect in the garden. With the right spot lighting, you can set up a perfect backdrop when hosting birthday events or housewarming with friends and families. Install a water feature project with water spillway kits and stone veneers. You can even have a water trough or pond along with pond pumps, filters and accessories to complete your water feature project.
Fancy water wall
This water wall can be installed even in the living room or drawing/dining area of your house. Make use of the partition wall in the living area or that glass wall in the drawing room to create a trickle-down waterfall. Use coloured lights to jazz up the water wall feature.
If placing it in your patio, then highlight the wall displaying the fountain with colourful lights. You can use a spillway fountain or use a trickle-down waterfall effect on a stone wall. Just make sure to keep it lit during the night for some pomp and show. The same kind of effect can be displayed on a glass wall in your patio, which looks absolutely stunning, to say the least.
Curtain water wall
This is a Greek-style garden wall using pillar framework. The water falls through the pillars and forms a transparent water curtain within the garden. This is great for large gardens where the curtain water wall falls on a large man made pond, creating a grand water feature in the garden.
Free-standing water feature
As the name implies, the free-standing water feature is independent and is mostly used for decorative purposes. The wall stands on a wooden framework, with slim waterfall spillways that are placed diagonally across a single wall. The water falls in a sleek pond or on polished stones.
Rock wall fountain idea
If you are a creative soul, then you can easily create a DIY outdoor water wall using some rocks and stones. Collect big boulders and arrange them in a circle. Stack the rocks together. In the middle, create a small fountain using smaller rocks so that the water spills into the pond created amidst the boulders. This is usually a two-tier rock wall fountain idea.
Fireplace water wall
A barbecue area or a fireplace outside in the patio can be converted into a water feature. This water wall idea is unique in its own way. The fire will burn in the background and a water stream will flow in front of the fireplace. Make sure there is some gap between the fire area and the water wall. The flames dancing in the background look beautiful through the transparent waterfall fountain.
Vertical garden water wall
A vertical garden holding green plants can also have a water wall. The water cascades through the stone wall amidst the plants bringing in the most natural look. It also serves the purpose of watering the plants.
DIY outdoor water wall ideas
You can even create your own water feature through this simple DIY water wall idea. Take inspiration from a rockery or a rock garden and build a haphazard wall by stacking large and small rocks, stones and even pebbles. Make a two-tier or a three-tier rock wall fountain and allow the water to trickle through these rocks. You can hang orchids and different plants to complete the water feature project.
Small water wall ideas
If you do not possess a large garden, you need not worry. Even a small garden can have a water wall. Build a small pond against the wall you intend to use as a water wall. Arrange plants and flower pots around the pond to complete the look. Use a small slit in the wall and allow the water to spill itself into the pond. So, there you go you have your own water wall!
