How to Build a Backyard Pond in ONE Day steps 8-20
What happens here
Periodically check the water elevations at various points in the pond and waterfall system using a transit level. Make adjustments to the rocks and surrounding soil as necessary to achieve the desired water flow and level. This might involve manually raising or lowering sections of the liner by adding or removing soil underneath, ensuring the liner is peeled back for proper adjustment. The goal is to create a natural-looking transition between the water feature and the surrounding landscape, avoiding a 'ring of pearls' effect where the liner is visible or looks unnatural.
Goal: Achieve desired water flow and natural appearance
