Method

Using the remainder of the sand, backfill between the pond and the surrounding soil. This is most effective whilst filling the pond with water, washing the sand down the gap using the hose. Great care must be taken to ensure that the backwash between the pond and soil does not rise above the level of water in the pond.

If a path or formal edging is required remove the turf or soil around the edge of the pond to the required width and to the depth of the paving plus a footing.

2 (5cm) footing for ordinary human traffic.
