Part 1: 17 minutes (Full video is 1 hour, 8 minutes)

In this 17 minute clip you'll see:

• A quick overview of equipment and materials used to build this waterfall
• Considerations for designing, measuring out and placing the water feature
• Marking the outline of the future water feature (and why this is so important)
• Digging the pond area (called the "rough dig" - and you'll see why...)
• Dealing with unexpected underground sprinkler lines and wires
• Compacting the outside edges of the water feature
• Smoothing out the edges of the final dig
• Leveling the outside edges of the water feature using a transit, or a simple string
• Placing the underlayment (goes under the pond liner)
• Laying the plastic liner down, and what to look out for to reduce the chance of future leaks
• Trimming the Liner to fit the water feature
• Ross trying to figure out the excavator
• Preparing the liner for the main waterfall stones
