Although foam is an added expense we suggest using foam between and behind most boulders, rocks and even gravel to keep the rocks in place and prevent them from slipping. Pond foam should be used to secure the rock to the liner, other rocks and to fill any voids behind the rocks.
Similarly one may ask, how do you put rocks around a pond?
Arrange the rocks around the perimeter of the pond. Bury them two-thirds into the soil for a natural appearance. If you have flagstones overhanging the edges of the water, allow a gravel beach area where small creatures, such as turtles, can crawl to dry ground.

Furthermore, how do you secure a pond liner?
The simplest method for securing your pond liner is an anchor trench. This runs around the outside of your pond, approximately 500mm from the edge, and should be dug to about 300mm deep by 300mm wide. The liner should lap into the trench, be covered by a layer of matting, then the soil replaced over the liner.
A spillway disguise can be crafted from rocks and plants in your water garden, items in your yard or supplies purchased from nurseries or landscaping companies.
- Closely examine the waterfall spillway.
- Locate a rock that is wide enough to cover the width of the spillway and rest on top of the sides.
