Dressing the Inside of Pond with Walling or Rockery Stone

If you cannot read the words on the image then look above and below the picture and you will see the same description. If you are browsing on a small screen I'm afraid you may have to scroll right a bit.

To give the appearance that the pond is constructed from solid stone, either with a wall or rockery stone, by dressing the inside of the pond down to the marginal level.

1) In the construction of the pond leading up to the fitting of the liner, it is necessary to allow for the average width of the stone in gauging how wide the marginal shelf should be.

2) Width of concrete blocks 4

Width of walling

Width of large plant basket

3) In the initial planning of the pond the width of the materials laid (ie. walling stone, brick or rockery) must be added to the liner size when ordering, plus 2 X depth, in order to end up with the required size of pond.

If it is intended to use cement to stabilize the rockery or walling, use waterproof liquid or powder in the mix.

A rockery can be made to appear as though it continues right down into the water.

Dress gaps with gravel or pea gravel.
