Ok folks I know its probably a needle in a haystack but looking for a Landscape fountain that really doesn't matter on the design but the main goal of this fountain will be obviously for looks but also as an feed into a small stream that will go into my garden.
Hope that helps but thats the best description that I could give. Let me know.

Do you already have a small stream or are you figuring on the fountain to form one?

How would I go about creating a small pond and not cause any real damage to the yard or neighbors yard?? I am close to the river so I can get the rocks I need for it.

wally world,lowes,i assume sams club and costco(dont know,never been to one), as well sell the pond/waterfall kits in various sizes up to a 6 foot by two foot pond complete with everything you need..
their liners are like this,

but they have complete kits for a waterfall and pond with the liners in them.
if you want bigger than that,i would suggest going with a kit like off of this site and designing your own.

building a waterfall is pretty simple if you have access to lots of rocks.

I was looking at the kits but with them there would be no way of really running a small stream to the garden with them???

so you are saying that you want a fountain to run in to your stream and then into the garden??? You dont want to circulate the water simply make watering plants a pretty job? If thats the case , then simply rig up a waterfall into the pond overflow the pond into your stream and into the garden. Wouldnt that then only water a couple rows and make them very wet . If you want a stream and want to circulate the water back through, you will need a drain area at the end of your stream and run a line underground with a larger pump to recirculate the water. The longer the system the large the pump you will need... The more extravagant the plans are the more money involved.
We have seen systems that encircle an entire property and into the hot tub and pools before..
