Grahamfff Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) We have a pond, about 12 x 6 ft and 3.5 feet deep, set into decking, which we now longer want. Advice on filling it in would be appreciated. Could we fill it with builders' rubble and a layer of topsoil or is this inadvisable for any reason? Is there anything regarding building regs we need to know? Any tips appreciated! Edited June 7, 2015 by Grahamfff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Would you want to use it to grow anything or just fill it in to level up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez2 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Has it got a liner or is it concrete? You could use it as a bog garden as it will retain more moisture. If not, puncture the liner a lot so water doesn't build up in the soil you infill with. It sounds ideal for puncturing then filling with a layer of rubble then soil and gravel to put drought loving plants in. A lot of people build beds for tropical / Mediterranean plants in beds similar to your pond. Just make sure it can drain rather than hold the water.
