Love the rock scheme, a have a bunch of river rocks I picked up along the way here and plan on doing very similiar to what u did diggin, i have to make my shelves to lay the rocks in more precise squared off so I can hide that black liner. Did you use anything like black foam, mortar, cement to keep them in place?

After building our pond I decided I didn't like the necklace look.
After time I found that bare root sweet flag could be tucked in between the rocks and the roots would adhere to the rocks and liner much like the roots on an ivy vine will adhere to a wall. Most of my pond edging now looks like this:
I have a friend who does something similar with bare root impatiens. I bought some impatiens and plan to strip them of the soil and tuck them into a few places and see how they do.

no foam,no concrete.When I build ponds,I like to stant the rocks backwards some,so hold themselves in place.I can walk on top of the whole edge and not a single stone will fall. I will have huge flagestone for a walk path around the pond,which will help ease that necklets look......Allow me to finish the project

Looks to me that you used a lot of small white rocks,I can see why you dont like it.MikeyToo said:
My rocks are no less that 50 pounds each, Bigger round smooth surface rocks [boulders]
if you will,make it look much smoother,and color is just more added eye candy.
