Formal
ponds, raised or at ground level, are ideal on patios or on lawned areas.
Careful consideration should be taken in the design stages when choosing
your edging method.
When edging
with slabs, it is preferable to position the slabs before excavation to create
your pool template. This will also limit the number of slabs which require
cutting. Crazy paving can provide an easy but attractive alternative especially
on pools with curved edges.
Should you
desire a heavy stone fountain in the pool, which looks effective in many formal
situations, it may be necessary to form a concrete footing in the base of the
excavation to support the weight of the fountain and its base before installing
the liner.
