What happens here
Once the wall, basin, and plumbing are installed, begin the finishing touches. This involves backfilling around the basin and wall, ensuring proper drainage and stability. Install the surrounding patio and hardscaping, as depicted in the 3D rendering. The video shows gravel around the base of the wall, which would be covered by finished landscaping. Add elements like a fire pit, seating areas, and planters to complete the outdoor living space. Fill the basin with water and test the pumping system to ensure consistent and attractive spillout from all spouts. Adjust flow rates if possible to achieve the desired effect.
Goal: Complete the aesthetic and functional aspects of the water feature and surrounding area.
