Are you dreaming of transforming your backyard and need landscape ideas? Look no further than adding a captivating pool waterfall to your design. At Kevens Landscape, we specialize in creating beautiful, custom pool features that not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your outdoor space but also provide practical benefits. Let’s dive into the world of pool waterfalls and discover why they are a must-have feature for any luxury backyard.

Benefits of Pool Waterfalls

Aesthetics

The primary allure of a pool waterfall lies in its beauty and ambiance. A well-designed waterfall can bring a touch of elegance or a tropical feel to your backyard. The soothing sight and sound of flowing water create a resort-like atmosphere, transforming your pool area into a tranquil retreat.

Water Circulation

Beyond aesthetics, a pool waterfall offers several practical advantages. One of the key benefits is improved water circulation. The continuous movement of water helps keep your pool clean by directing debris towards the filter. Enhanced circulation also ensures that pool chemicals are evenly distributed, maintaining water quality.

Temperature Regulation

On hot summer days, a pool waterfall can make your pool water feel more refreshing. The movement of water from a waterfall helps regulate the temperature, preventing the water from becoming uncomfortably warm and ensuring a cool, inviting swimming experience. The sound of cascading water adds a layer of tranquility to your pool area, masking unwanted noise from neighbors or traffic. This sound barrier allows for private conversations and a serene environment, making your backyard a perfect place for relaxation.

Types of Pool Waterfalls

Grotto Waterfall

For a natural or tropical look, a grotto waterfall is an excellent choice. These waterfalls can be constructed with various types of stone or rock to create a secluded, cave-like ambiance. Our design team at Kevens Landscape can help you determine the perfect materials and flow rate to achieve your desired effect.

Spa Spillway

A popular way to incorporate a waterfall into your pool design is through a spa spillway. By elevating the spa above pool level, you can create a stunning waterfall effect as water flows from the spa into the pool. This feature can be designed with one main spillway or several smaller ones, adding a dynamic visual element to your backyard.

Scuppers

Scuppers are troughs or chutes built into the pool walls, creating a series of smaller waterfalls. These can be made from stone or metal, providing a sleek, modern look. Scuppers are a versatile option, allowing for customization in terms of size and number of waterfalls.

Water & Fire Bowls

Combining water and fire elements, these bowls are a trendy addition to any pool. Positioned on poolside pillars or at the pool’s edge, water bowls and fire bowls add a dramatic flair. Available in concrete or metal finishes, these features are sure to impress.

Cost Considerations

The cost of installing a pool waterfall can vary widely based on the complexity of the design and the materials used. Simple cascade-style waterfalls, which create a strip of falling water, can cost between $1,000 and $4,000. More elaborate designs, such as grotto waterfalls or integrated spa spillways, can increase the overall cost by 10-15% of the pool construction budget. Larger installations with additional features like lighting or sound systems can cost $25,000 or more.

Maintenance Tips

While pool waterfalls add beauty and functionality, they also require regular maintenance. Here are some tips to keep your waterfall in top condition:

• Regular Cleaning: The scuppers and the tile or stone underneath them may need occasional cleaning to remove calcium deposits depending on the water in your region. This is something that you can do yourself, although it is best left to a professional.
• Pump Maintenance: Regularly check and maintain the pump to ensure efficient water circulation.
• Seasonal Care: During the off-season, disconnect pumps and filters, drain the waterfall structure, and store equipment indoors to prevent weather damage.
