Choosing Your Waterfall

Believe it or not, there are actually a large range of different choices with pool waterfalls. Think about all the waterfalls you’ve ever seen in real life or in pools at resorts and spas. All of those (and a whole lot more) are possibilities when it comes to your pool waterfalls. You can create something entirely new, or you can use one of those ideas for yourself.

A waterfall can be created in just about any style as well. If you want an oasis with stones and a natural looking waterfall, it can definitely be done. If you want something that looks modern and bold, that can be done as well. Maybe you want something in between? That’s not going to be a problem. There are plenty of ways to put in a waterfall in a unique way that’s entirely you.

The Cost of Pool Waterfalls

The price you’re going to pay for your waterfall is going to vary just as much as the style of the waterfall you put in. If you’re looking to put in something small yourself you may pay as little as a few hundred dollars. Keep in mind, this is going to be more simplistic (unless you have a lot of skill in masonry or plumbing) and smaller. If you want something large and with more of an oasis feel you could be spending upwards of $18,000 or even closer to $30,000.

The amount of money that you spend is really going to be up to you. You can look at different options and styles and the cost associated. Once you know how much each style or design will cost you can pick out which one works for you. There are going to be plenty of options when it comes to cutting costs for your waterfall. So make sure you don’t give up on the idea entirely just because the amount of money sounds daunting.
