Hi Folks
I want to build up the sides of my pond a few inches and level them out . Do you think it would be OK to use sand for this or should I use a sand/concrete mix ?
I have a professional drawn diagram attached , no expense spared *cough*
You can see where I am thinking of putting the sand underneath the liner . In behind that will be a layer of concrete and my paving will sit on that and the sand and the concrete will hold the paving in position.
The alternative is to use a sand/concrete mix to build up the sides but is that necessary do you think because I am guessing the pressure of the water against the liner should be good enough to keep the sand in place ?
Your thoughts are appreciated as always
