STEP 7
BRING IN THE TOPSOIL
• Add topsoil to the berm
and surrounding area to
provide a good substrate
for future landscape
plantings (Ex. 20).
• The entire area may be
mulched and any plant
material installed if
necessary.
STEP 8
BUILD RETAINING WALL
• Finish off the berm where
the BioFalls Filter is buried
by building a small
retaining wall out of
boulders (Ex. 21). This
step may or may not
be needed, depending
on the size of the berm
and the transition into
the existing landscape.
STEP 9
PLUG IN AND TWEAK THE
WATERFALL
• Plug the pump in and test
the waterfall. Tweak the
waterfall by placing smaller
stones and gravel on the
waterfall cascades (Ex. 22).
This will change the
appearance and sound of
the water. Have fun playing with the water coming over the
falls until you achieve the desired effect.

STEP 10
TRIM THE LINER
• With everything running, go around the perimeter of the
waterfall and stream with a pair of scissors and trim off
any excess liner (Ex. 23), leaving several inches above the
water level as a precaution. The remaining liner edges can
be tucked in, backfilled, and covered with gravel (Ex. 24).
NOTE: Do not trim the liner until the waterfall is running.
Ex. 20
Prematurely trimming the liner may cause leaks!
STEP 11
Ex. 21
MULCH THE BERM
• The entire area surrounding
the BioFalls can now be
mulched (Ex. 25) and any
surrounding plants added.
