Measure out from the corner of the property to the furthest finish point of the water feature.

We highly recommend checking local code requirements for set-backs from the property line. The following pictures (provided by Savio engineering) show the foundation of the emanating elevated area of the water feature directly up against the fence. This, in most areas might constitute an easment code violation. Most easments are typically 3 ft. i.e.: block construction should begin 3 ft. away from the fence. One undesireable consequence of constructiong directly up against a fence is the premature rotting of fence material as a result.

 Rectangular area marked in orange is the location to dig for placement of waterfall well.

   

  In addition to moving the concrete blocks away from the fence, we would recommend the extra work of digging a 6" deep by 10" wide trench, filling the trench with concrete mix, placing 3/8" diameter rebar into each cell of the concrete block in a vertical orientation. Placing blocks on this wet poured footing and adding rebar with concrete, filling the open cells of the block construction will prevent blow-outs and eventual degredation of the construction site. Doing it right the first time is a minimum maintenance aspect to the water feature.

 
   

Soil up against a fence above grade will cause rotting of the fence.
