Raised Pond Wall
I am going to build a slight raised pond, about6 12 in above the
ground. I would like decorative walling and would like to know if I should make the "wall" double skinned, with concrete block on the inside?. Also what size of foundation is required for this wall? |

Raised Pond Wall
Lawrence,
If you're only going to go no more than a foot above ground level with your wall then you can probably get by using 4" or 6" dry stack block like you can get at Lowe's or Home Depot. You'd want to burying your first course below the frost line depending upon where you live will determine how deep you have to lay it. The dry stack block can be used if your pond is going to have curves, where the rectangular block will not. Have you given any thought about how/what you're going to cap your wall with? Good luck.
