A) Brick to disguise the liner and make a very high water level.

A) Brick facing to the upper side of the pond from the marginal shelf level. This can be brick or dressed stone laid using a cement mix with a water-proofing additive. BEWARE: large quantities of cement exposed need to be treated with silglaze. This product is painted onto the cement that is going to be under water and then washed off. This is done in prescribed amounts and rinsed off after certain intervals.

B) A rock facing to form a planting trough for marginals.

B) Here flat bottomed rockery stone sits on the marginal shelf and is built up to, or just below, the water level of the pond forming a trough which is lined with underlay. This creates the marginal planting area.
