How To Build A Water Garden If The Ground Is Rocky?
If you find that the ground is hard or rocky, you can try adding 10 cm layer of sand to cover any sharp stones that might puncture the shell of the preformed pool once it’s under pressure from the water filling into the pond. If it’s hard for you to find sand, you can try using a suitable lining material. This normally takes the form of a roll of fleecy matting that can provide a long-lasting protective layer. Be sure that you use a spirit level to check that it’s absolutely level before finally installing the pond. You certainly don’t want to work with a pond that is even slightly lopsided so be sure that it’s absolutely level at this stage. Anyone who know how to build a water garden will make sure that they push plenty of really wet sand into all the gaps between the edge of the pond and the solid ground around it. This is done to prevent the pond shell from slipping sideways. Once that is done, you can place the plants in baskets and add the rest of the water into the pond.
