you're Soooooooooo Lucccckkkkkyyyy, Vicki; you got addy's famous Picaso Liner Hider art!!!!!
So raise the edges slightly?Welcome Vicki G! Looking forward to seeing the pond when it is finished. I must say that @addy1 is a better artist on the computer than I am freehand! One observation while you are still building is doing something now to prevent runoff from your lawn into the pond. It is easier to deal with it in the build phase than trying to retrofit some sort of barrier later. The lawn will send all sorts of unwanted nutrients into your pond creating an ideal environment for an algae bloom and potential harm to fish.
YesSo raise the edges slightly?
that's the technical term; 'yuck'. When @Vicki G has been here longer, we'll let her in on the colloquial term, right j.w?Yes raise up the outer dirt edge into a mound and lay the liner over it so the liner cut edge hangs downward so no yuck will run into pond. If you have it flat and even w/your yard you will have all kinds of things flowing into your pond.
