This week we have a new client. The pond in Salona was leaking, They were told it would take major reconstruction, to fix it. We were called out for our ideas.( Thanks by the way)After a little time the leak was found. The beauty of the plants in the waterfall came with a price.The plants had not been trimed or managed in years. This resulted in roots growing thru the liner in some places, Also plants were grown over the edge of the liner pushing it down, and where this wasnt happening  roots were wicking and sucking water over the edge of the liner.

. Our remedy was, a new liner should be installed in the waterfall.

All of the rocks, and gravel were removed. Any and all of the plants were removed.After this the old liner was replaced with a new 45 mil. EPDM liner ,then re-rocked. the results were  beautiful. This waterfall was not only smooth as silk, it wasn’t major construction.  And the pond in solana beach is now one of my favorites.
