Hello all, I am putting a pond in my under construction cottage garden. I have purchased a liner and am wondering if my first step is to lay the liner out and then decide the size/shape of the pond. I intend on putting in a small waterfall, is it best to dig the pond then create a burm to form the waterfall? Any advice about the pond creating process would be helpful. Thanks
