In one embodiment, a freestanding landscape waterfall includes a face plate having an elongated aperture, a manifold having an outlet configured to direct water through the aperture, and an engagement feature configured to suspend the face plate such that the elongated aperture is in a horizontal orientation. In another embodiment, a freestanding landscape waterfall assembly includes a freestanding landscape waterfall, an overhead support system configured to suspend the freestanding landscape waterfall, and a catch basin positionable below the freestanding landscape waterfall. In yet another embodiment, a freestanding landscape waterfall assembly kit includes a catch basin, a freestanding landscape waterfall configured to be suspended over the catch basin, and a pump system configured to pump water between the catch basin and the freestanding landscape waterfall. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A freestanding landscape waterfall comprising: a face plate having an elongated aperture; a manifold having an outlet configured to direct water through the aperture; and an engagement feature configured to suspend the face plate such that the elongated aperture is in a horizontal orientation. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The freestanding landscape waterfall of claim 1, wherein the aperture is disposed below the engagement feature. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The freestanding landscape waterfall of claim 1, wherein the face plate comprises two substantially vertical posts having a plurality of horizontal members extending therebetween. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The freestanding landscape waterfall of claim 3, wherein the substantially vertical posts include the engagement feature. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The freestanding landscape waterfall of claim 1, wherein the engagement feature comprises: a first attachment receiving slot configured to receive and mate with an attachment member; and a second attachment receiving slot configured to receive and mate with a pergola member. ### Claim 6 A freestanding landscape waterfall assembly comprising: a freestanding landscape waterfall; an overhead support system configured to suspend the freestanding landscape waterfall; and a catch basin positionable below the freestanding landscape waterfall. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The freestanding landscape waterfall assembly of claim 6, wherein the overhead support system comprises a plurality of substantially horizontal support members and a plurality of substantially horizontal pergola members. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The freestanding landscape waterfall assembly of claim 6, wherein the freestanding landscape waterfall comprises a face plate comprising two substantially vertical posts having a plurality of horizontal members extending therebetween. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The freestanding landscape waterfall assembly of claim 8, wherein the substantially vertical posts include an engagement feature. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The freestanding landscape waterfall assembly of claim 9, wherein the engagement feature comprises: a first attachment receiving slot configured to receive and mate with the substantially horizontal support member; and a second attachment receiving slot configured to receive and mate with the substantially horizontal pergola member. ### Claim 11 (depends on 7) The freestanding landscape waterfall assembly of claim 7, further comprising a plurality of substantially vertical pillars configured to receive at least one horizontal support member and at least one pergola member. ### Claim 12 (depends on 6) The freestanding landscape waterfall assembly of claim 6, wherein the freestanding landscape waterfall comprises: a face plate having an elongated aperture; and an engagement feature configured to suspend the face plate such that the elongated aperture is in a horizontal orientation and the aperture is disposed below the engagement feature. ### Claim 13 A freestanding landscape waterfall assembly kit comprising: a catch basin; a freestanding landscape waterfall configured to be suspended over the catch basin; and a pump system configured to pump water between the catch basin and the freestanding landscape waterfall. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The freestanding landscape waterfall assembly kit of claim 13, further comprising an overhead support system configured to suspend the freestanding landscape waterfall. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The freestanding landscape waterfall assembly kit of claim 13, wherein the pump system further comprises: a pump manifold configured to direct water through freestanding landscape waterfall; a pipe configured to connect the catch basin to the pump manifold; a pump configured to pump water from the catch basin through the pipe to the pump manifold; and a controller configured to control the flow of water through the pump system. ### Claim 16 (depends on 13) The freestanding landscape waterfall assembly kit of claim 13, further comprising packaging, wherein the packaging contains the catch basin, the freestanding landscape waterfall and the pump system.
