When I put our pond down last year, I felt it looked somewhat contrived to a degree but after 8-9 months, it has taken on its own identity as things have grown, died and grown again.

Yours already looks great and will only get better with time:o))

thanks oddbillie, I was thinking that my little pond is not wide enough, and it doesnt blend in with the rest of the garden.

Mine is only a small pond so don't despair. I think it works because like me, you've kind of sectioned that area with the small trellis around the edge thus creating an area seperate from the rest of the garden.

It will look even better next year, mark my words!!Once the planting starts to spread, it will soften the lines of the bricks and you will forget they are there.

yeah maybe I'll like it more when it all knits together, All I see at the mo is harsh lines. But as you say they will soften.
