    Besides having a shelf built into your pond for plants, is there any other reason a pond shelf should be dug into a pond?

    I am digging a new pond and a landscape company was here and they said the pond would colapse without shelves.
    Does anyone know if that is true? With the water inside the pond it is hard to believe. The area is all flat.

    I do not want shelves because the herons and raccoons can get into the pond. I am not even going to grow plants around
    the pond, just a walk way.

    The sides will be straight down.

    i have had a pond for 10 years and I have now moved onto a very large lot and want to bring my fish over and into their new
    pond but I want to do it right for my fish.

    Does anyone know the anwser? I am just confused and winter is coming quick.
