Over the top and then some. As you'll see by my photos, a waterfall is out of the question LOL. My yard is very small and the slope quite gentle ... two sides bisected by stairs, south-facing with lots of sun.

First photo is the east side from different angles. In some spots, the plastic is easy to pull up (in bits and pieces), in other areas, not so much. It's buried under years of buildup of dirt, rocks, and hard clay soil. I don't think there's any danger of soil sliding off the buried plastic, but I'm not sure.

Next two photos shows the circle created by the trunk of what was a huge tree. There's a corresponding trunk remain on the west side as well. The circle is where I'm thinking to extend the rock garden from ... sort of having it meander down to the stone wall. More photos to follow.
