hey guys i need some seriouce ideas on what to do next the pond is almost dug now i have a 2 year old son and i need to raise the sides of the pond about 2 feet above ground and still be able to secure the pond liner my hubby said to just do a rock wall with cement but im concerned that there will be to much outward pressure on the wall i was thinking of putting a wall of plywood down to the plant shelf secured with rebar then the rock wall around the out side ( trying to keep it natural) with a 1 inch gap between the wood and rock. then place the liner between the two and fill with cement. think that will work or do you have any other sugestions im open to any and all thoughts

nice pond...what you stock it with?
 
why do you want the pond to go 2 feet above the ground? You can't keep it looking natural and have a wall around the pond. I would just bring the pond to ground level and line the whole thing with rock and do a pebble rock edge to hide and hold down the liner.
