Product Description The Rhapsody Top & Birdhaven Pond is an organic, sanctuary-grade garden watercourse cast in heavy-duty stone concrete, sculpted to capture the visual harmony and restorative acoustics of a tiered mountain gorge. It features a rugged, naturalistic rock outcrop top with an elevated summit pool that steps water across multiple textured stone shelves before cascading in a lively, multi-stream curtain into the expansive, shallow-sloping Birdhaven Pond basin below.

Weighing a solid 115kg with a generous 1.8m width by 1.7m depth and an accessible 55cm profile, this freestanding concrete ensemble provides rock-solid permanence, wind endurance, and all-weather resilience. Its warm sandstone textures and broad, pebble-ready basin make it an exceptional focal point for rockeries, perennial flower borders, patio entertainment zones, and low-growing groundcover beds, serving as an accessible drinking oasis and splash bath for garden birds and local pollinators.

Installation & Foundation Guide Install on a firm, flat, and well-compacted foundation to distribute its 115kg weight evenly. A level base of compacted crusher run, thick paving slabs, or a flat concrete pad is ideal to prevent settling over time. Verify with a spirit level across the pond rim before filling to ensure uniform water depth and an even sheet flow across each stone shelf. Position a standard submersible pond pump inside the basin reservoir and route flexible tubing up to the inlet manifold located behind the Rhapsody Top (submersible pump sold separately).

Maintenance & Care

• Keep the Birdhaven Pond filled with clean water so the submersible pump intake remains fully covered during operation.
• Periodically remove fallen leaves, blossoms, and garden debris to maintain crystal-clear water and prevent pump intake clogs.
• Treat with a concrete-safe, bird- and wildlife-friendly algaecide to prevent green film buildup along the rock shelves and basin floor.
