Also still not sure how to get the cable (for the lights and pump)
into the pond if its edged with paving slabs (2 rows of on the side
where the cable will come from)
Lay a piece of plastic conduit (or domestic water overflow pipe will do) on
top of the pond liner at the pond's edge. Cover this with the bedding mortar
and lay your slabs. The pump & light cables should be fed from the pond side
through the conduit. You really should then take the cables away under
ground in further lengths of conduit, using right-angle bends to get the
required depth below the surface.
Don't cut the cables - they can be coiled neatly before connecting to an
IP65 switched outlet or socket.
