We have an irregularly shaped approx 20x20 concrete pond at the front of the house. It's old and the concrete is flaking off and cracked in many areas. I would like to redo this thing, but I really don't know how. All the electrical was destroyed by the contractor when we redid the house. Fortunately solar pumps are now available.
I'm not sure if this concrete can even be patched. I thought about using a rubber coating over it all, but I'm not sure the rubber will work ok over the areas where the concrete is flaked.
Alternatively I could use an EPDM liner. The problem with the liner is, how would I finish it where the waterfall rocks are? Normally folks hide the edge of the liner with various types of rocks. That's not possible unless I pull the entire liner over the waterfall rocks, and that would be unsightly as that part of the rocks will always remain exposed.
I'd love to hear thoughts on the proper way to fix this thing.
Here you can see some of the flaking concrete:
You can see the waterfall rocks. How would one terminate an EPDM liner in this situation? The water is supposed to flow down between the rocks. The liner would need to terminate where the concrete changes to the "rocks". By what method could that be accomplished?
