Water Features & Pondless Waterfalls FAQs
-
Water features and pondless waterfalls use a combination of boulders, river rock, decorative pebble, flagstone, and site preparation materials available at Big Tex Stone. Moss boulders and decorative boulders are commonly used to frame the waterfall structure and create a natural appearance. River rock and Mexican beach pebble fill the basin and surrounding area. Flagstone is often used for edge treatment and surrounding surfaces. Big Tex has supplied materials for water features of all scales, from small backyard installations to larger estate features.
-
Moss boulders are the standard choice for the main structure of a natural-style pondless waterfall because their surface texture closely mimics how stone looks in a real stream environment. River rock and cobble fill the basin and surrounding areas where water flows over and between stones. Smaller decorative pebble or Mexican beach pebble can be used as a finishing layer in visible areas. Big Tex stocks all of these products and can help you put together a complete materials list for your waterfall size and layout.
-
Big Tex stocks site preparation and landscaping materials including gravel, sand, and fill materials used in water feature base preparation alongside the decorative stone used in the finished feature. Having base and decorative materials in one place means a complete water feature material run can often be done in a single trip.
