This summer I'm planning to build a water feature in our backyard off our dining room french doors. My goals are low maintainence, soothing sounds, and visual interest. My primary concern is attracting rodents from the surrounding hills with endless fresh water thus I want a water wall without a standing pond/pool of water. Something like this but shorter, wider, and hand made.

So I'm thinking a shallow basin filled with stone to house the pump with a concrete block wall faced with colorful stone (either veneer or slate) and a custom wall cap. Throw in some low voltage accent lights and nice plants and bingo. When I get this project kicked off I'll dig up this thread and post pics.
