This sort of feature is best set up against a strong reinforced wall to avoid the hump look and an excess use of stone. In fact the most effective method of landscaping a stream is to set it in a cleft in an existing bank with the strata of the rock showing at the waterfalls disappearing right and left into the grass of the bank.

Both stream and rockery should seem to be of solid construction. Therefore more stone is better than less.

Using the cut and fill method, lay the rock with the strata as horizontal as possible, except in the stream where it can seem to be altered by natural forces.

Individual rockery stones must be set leaning slightly backwards. Rainwater thus drains back into the rockery.
