Go back to your drawing, under the 2 pavers closest to the water under each of thse pavers make a trench (dip in the dirt). Have liner go down into the trench. Fill trench with dirt. Outside edge of liner can be completely buried or come back out the trench and on top the ground. But with this method you do have bare dirt close the pond. From exposed dirt, you will get silt runoff into the pond especially on the up hill side of the pond. Can you make a shallow diversion ditch on the updhill side that directs runoff around the pond?.

To post your drawing did you, photograph it, then post the photo?
