Water Gardening: Anyone installed a Costco Waterfall Kit before? Any ideas?, 1 by astcgirl

We are having a major redo of our small backyard this year. We had our large Oak tree trimmed already and we are getting red Chicago bricks put down shortly, but an idea for a waterfall sprang up to put in the corner of our yard. We had been shown a fiberglass waterfall for about 660 but it looks pretty small, I did a little research online and found that Costco sells one for $799.99 delivered and it includes everything...even the rocks....real rocks!. I thought i'd show a picture of the place we want to put it and get suggestions/thoughts from my fellow DG'ers, hopefully someone has already installed one of these and can let me know if it's a good idea.....I will not be installing it myself, I'll leave it to our handymen.

We cannot grow grass in the backyard because of a dog and the large Oak tree, so it will be all red chicago brick and the sides will be white river stones.

I thought this waterfall looked beautiful to sit out with some nice chairs at night under the old Oak and listen/watch the water...maybe a few lights to accent around it with some nice greenery....tell me what you think?

Below is a picture of the corner of our backyard the waterfall will be placed. I've checked with our handymen and they said it will fit in there perfectly, maybe just a little change in where the actual pond will be depending on the roots of the tree (or they could raise it if there is a problem) The hose you see in the picture is where the pond will come out to, that's about 7.5ft.

I'm not sure if i can post the link to Costco's website, let me know if I can, if not, you can just do a search on costco's website for "Waterfall" and it will show up, it's the Pond & Waterfall kit, not the pondless.
