Has anyone had to close a pond because of grandchildren? We always said we'd bury ours as soon as GS started walking. He's 19 mo. and running now. Our yard dips down in back where small pond is and not immediately visible from patio. We'll need to puncture the liner, fill it with dirt and then cover it with limestone to match the rest of the area. We can't fence the area, and have tried to think of other means of temporarily keeping him away from it. He's taken the water-proofing classes, which just seems to make him more apt to "jump in." I'm just curious if anyone else has closed pond temp. Do they outgrow their facination with 'em eventually? We live near Barton Creek and have taken him there. He has no fear of the water.
We've already drained the small one in our courtyard. Plan to fill it with river rock around a pump and just have a small water feature.
