I know its not recommended but I have been thinking about a way to rock my newly dug pond starting with the coping edge/shelf. I have more than enough boulders to rock the top shelf and I woud like to use what is left on the lower sections of the pond. The only way I can think to do this is to start from the top.
Couldnt I temporarily place smaller cobble along all the shelves below the water level? I will be using all that I have to build some walls inside the pond so its not like I need to move it far after.
Fill the pond with water up to the coping/top shelf, then add the boulders to the shelf?
I guess I could do both: Add the cobble along all the lower edges, then fill with water to the top shelf. Would be easier to then drain the water but could probably place the boulder without draining.
Thoughts?
