Sinking Preformed Pond: Cement Curb vs. Releveling

Preformed pond, one end sunk 6". Wants cement curb to raise water level. Asks better/faster/cheaper fix.

Cement Curb = Leak Risk

Sealing plastic to cement rarely waterproofs long-term. Water finds gaps.

Proper Fix: Relevel

1. Drain pond.
2. Lift out preformed shell.
3. Level base with sand.
4. Reinstall.

Why It's Worth It

Done right once = years of trouble-free. Shortcuts = chronic leaks.
