Robin,

This is how my yard is, a downward slope toward a chainlink fence. What I did
was use the dirt excavated from the pond to build up the fence end and ordered
liner long enough to go down over the slope I created with that dirt. I then
put large rocks at the base of the slope and dirt and small rocks over the
liner and put in creeping plants with shallow roots. It's been 3 years and no
erosion.

My concern with using block
or brick is that because the yard has a downward slope toward the fence, the
section of wall in that area will be about 3 ft high, whereas the wall along
the higher ground will be only about 12"-16" high, and I'm not sure how to
give the 3ft part of that wall enough stability against the pressure of the
water on the inside of the pond.
