Flushing the Pond

26 - 27 January 2020

We have had four bags of round pebbles delivered for the pond.  We have to half fill it, to weigh down the liner, then edge each planting shelf with larger stones then infill with gravel behind.

 The first shelf edged and gravelled.

 Meanwhile, the workforce have finished the snaky bed - a very nice job done.  We asked them to only use lime mortar, rather than cement, in order to match the house.  But it means we can't fill with soil for a week or so while it dries.

 Second shelf nearly done, with edging carried across the ramp to stabilise the gravel for a beach area.

All gravelled in, including the beach.  We pumped out the pit, then Dave hosed everything down one last time to wash through as much sand and dust as possible before pumping out a final time and filling with rain water.
