Most creative way to run electric to an outdoor fountain area?

The little solar pumps are nice but we'd love a 3-tiered waterfall type fountain which normally runs with an electric pump. The best location would be in a bed which is not near a current exterior outlet.

    You would first check what the codes are where you live and follow them. Underground cable could be run to the location, may or may not need to be encased to prevent damage. You may need to run either a plastic or metal pipe chase for the cable, Most codes require a specific depth for underground cable and the type allowed.

    Thank God I live in a rural area, no codes. My father and AI put in a pool with a waterfall and we ran galvanized pipe under ground with the wiring inside. So if we forget where the line is, don't have to worry about cutting it.

    double triple quadruple up on the solar pumps same sun source ,but volume squares sometimes in regard to water,relative to pressure and pipe size a little math and knowing what your pumps flow could get you too your goldilocks just-right flow amount,with out codes or digging up the yard perhaps
