  • Patent number: 7445162
    Abstract: A packaged garden water feature kit comprises a container which, at the time of sale, holds a large decorative stone or rock with a bore formed vertically therethrough, an electric water pump, a length of tubing for connecting the pump outlet to the bore in the stone, a sheet of flexible plastic of a predetermined area having a hole centered therein and a container lid sealing the container with a pattern of perforations formed through it. In use, the container is buried in the ground with the pump within and the tubing projecting out through the lid. The sheet is laid on the ground with the hole centered over the lid and then hidden from a view by landscaping rocks, or mulch. The bore in the decorative stone is then connected to the tubing and the container is filled with water. When the pump is energized, water spills out of the bore and flows over the stone surface for return to the container.
