@Lisaebetten I was going to tell him about yours!! Thanks for weighing in!

Just curious - what is it about a shelf that doesn't appeal to you?

It is a preference thing for me. I personally am not a big fan of that style.
One option would be to dig a small shelf, mortar rocks in place. Then mortar the flagstone in place on top with a slight over hang. It would be essentially the same type of look as using the rock on a roll, but be real rock instead. That is totally an idea I think I can work with

@texmaster. Can't see the video, but that is totally the idea I had in my head. Big flat rocks to slight overhang the edge. Would love to see video or pics though

FINALLY found some stills as well

I put down two layers. One whole Pallet. This one is 10x12x4 if you needed the dimensions.

What I've done is to use a mix of natural mulch, spanish moss, flat stones, stones, partial tree trunks and plantings to surround our pond. Where practical the liner is covered in a sand, dirt, paver underlayment mixture.

I love that spanish moss idea!!! That may solve some of my problem areas.

A few pics of my copping over a over brick edge

 

[BGJ223]

Both copings came out really well. I will probably head to the garden place near me that sells rocks this weekend and see what they have.
I am also going to order a roll of rock on a roll. I think I have some small areas where this will come in handy.

If the ground is not too hard I will be digging a very small shelf to run a course of rocks.
Shelf size would be maybe 4 inches inset and 4 inches deep. Size might change depending on available rocks.

Made some progress on coping

What is that on the back inner wall of the pond?

 

[BGJ223]

A couple rocks for the spill way from the bog area. Talking about the Redish color part right?

 

[Meyer Jordan]

Underneath the spillway. The left wall appears to be covered by what looks like brick. Underneath the spillway looks like some wooden structure.

 

[BGJ223]

Here is a closer look at that spillway. No wood in there
