Total newbie here.

Just getting ideas for a water feature in my front yard. I want a pond but won't due one because its in my front yard and i have raccoon problems.

Looking for ideas on pondless waterfalls.

there are some on hgtv.com but with those you can use your imagination formal or country and how big or small .You can still make one with a shallow pond area an inch or two deep so birds can frolic in it and take a bath .Just may need more cleaning from bird poop .Pondless all you need is a hole a liner or huge container dug in the ground a pump and something like milk crates to put plastic lattice or whatever to keep the top level with the ground rocks on top and a hose to lead from the pump to the back of the waterfall .For the waterfall a mound of dirt with rocks stacked ( for that you would need a liner )or one of the new preformed rock waterfalls ,but expensive .

Hi algae, Welcome. We have raccoon visitors almost every night. They won't get your fish if you go around 4 ft deep or so. I have never lost a fish to them.

I cover my ponds with a framed net. Even with a deep pond, the racoons can wait till one surfaces and get them. I recently had a customer bring me one that was injured just that way. The racoon took a swipe at it and gashed the side.
