The latest pond put on my property is about 15' x 20'. It has a stream of about 30' on a natural slope that flows from the "waterfall" box to a small pond. The small pond, 3' x 4', that then overflows into the large one. <br /> <br />After many months of hand digging and sculpting plant shelves, I laid about 2" of stone dust (same material used for ballast). On top of the stone dust, I put a specially made synthetic woven material for pond underlayment. It is designed to prevent damage from tree roots and sharp rocks and is very strong. <br /> <br />On top of the synthetic pond liner, I placed a EPDM pond liner. <br /> <br />(I am leaving on a business trip for a few days. When I get hack I will get the name of the synthetic material and who I bought it from.)
