I am currently working on a waterfall display with 3 junipers. 2 of them are informal uprights and 1 cascade. The picture isn't the best, sorry. But I will show progression pics after I figure a few things out with the design. As to where the trees are located, I am not sure of. Maybe I can get some opinions from you NUTS.

Blue lines show direction of waterfall. Green, obviously is the proposed location of the trees. Screenshot_2016-04-26-21-38-06-1.jpg

Are moving it after to a permanent spot with a hydraulic lift? What is it made of plaster or cement, I see the grey slate, colored shingles are lighter maybe and bring an accent to it, or moss blankets, or air plants. etc.....

It will be built on a wood stand. I am thinking of a black stand with no stone on it. I have pressure treated wood ready to be cut and measured. So far I am using a construction adhesive that hardens in 15 minutes, with instant grabbing power. Then filling it in with cement.
As for accent plants,
I have a few types of moss, air plants and small aquatic plants if space allows.
Pictures of my progression will be posted. I have had several comments from friends and family who have seen it. So far they say it looks great, and very "real" looking.
I am only holding off on the pics, because I want to present it with the best shots. I have taken many pictures as I have been building it, but I am taking it apart several times to get it to fit right.
I just hope it's not too heavy, LOL.
Fortunately, I have a dolly to tote it around.

I think i would put the cascade up high on the cliff and let it hang down the rock...that would be cool i think.
