The top has two areas like the one in this photo where water spills from between rocks and cascades down overlapping terra cotta colored flagstones.

I made the pipe and valve to the first one nearer their table larger so it would produce the most sound. The other water spillway is similar, but less flow.

It's a very simple design.

I considered moss rock, but they have a pond just across the sidewalk, so found the same kind of river rock / cobble so the two features would be similar.

The bed (or, used to be lawn) at the top was so skinny, there was no practical way to go any deeper. The water level was so close to the top of the liner when cut at pool deck level, that I decided to line the edge with an edging called "bender board". That's actually the name of that brand I believe. 20' lengths. Firm enough to support a man standing on it's edge, but flexible enough to wrap in a circle to fit in a truck bed with gate closed.
