Heyas

I have a water table fed clay bottom pond and would like to have a sandy beach area. With the clay bottom once you step into the water you sink a good 6 inches or so . Any ideas on how to construct a beach area without using landscape fabric?

Without landscape fabric, I would build it just like a roadbed. Put down a layer of large rocks (#2's) to create a firm base then top with smaller rocks then finally sand.

You have to put something down to prevent the sand from sinking into the clay and disappearing.
