Some folks are professionals who post gorgeous pictures of the outdoor living dreamscapes they've built. Other folks are DIYers who are revamping their outdoor living areas, building outdoor furniture, or planning an outdoor living room for the first time. Whether you're a novice or an expert, join a conversation about outdoor living rooms on Hometalk.

  • I wanted to share my little sister's Backyard Waterfall & Pond!
  • She and her hubby did all the work themselves! They did a great job of incorporating the waterfall into the landscape-it looks like it's been there forever.
  • I love it! I have a much smaller waterfall and pond on the to-do list for summer & hers gave me lots of inspiration- I thought you'd like it too! xo

DIY Backyard Waterfall & Pond!

In case you're planning a DIY water feature, I thought I'd show you my sister's Waterfall & Pond that she and her hubby put in...maybe you'll get an idea or two, I know I did!
