Use pump powerful enough to push the water up, Container for reservoir tubing. Put rocks around the tubing. Plants give natural look. Landscaping bricks can also be used for making fountains.

You can start with a dirt base, build up the dirt, concrete and rock over hill, you can use a fountain mold to have the water flow downwart to a pond with liner, then a pump to filter water back to the top of the fountain.

Firstly, make sure you have enough room. Then you have to decide on a theme. Artistic? Natural? Next, design your fountain which contains 3 elements, the reservoir, pump and tubing, and the fountain head.

You can buy a premade tub and build rocks around it to make a nice rock waterfall pond. Or you can dig a hole and put a large tub down.

The best thing to do is to run a pipe to where you want to put the fountain. You can tap into one of your existing pipes and then you can install the fountain and hook it up to the pipe you all ready have laid. It is easy but can take some time.

Assuming that the pond already exists: You will need to bring water and electricity to the local of the pond. After, installing the pipes and wires to the pump. Then install a switch to light up when appropriate. If it is not a big pond is better throw out when the water is dirty.
