Do preformed ponds need a liner?

Bricks, Pavers, Flat Slate or Hewn Rock The flat surfaces of brick, pavers, slate and cut rock slabs makes them easy to fit together to form a low border to cover the pond’s edge. They may fit naturally on the soil or can be placed on a base of sand to keep the bottom layer level.
Should you put gravel in pond?
