We are in a pretty bad drought here. My pond is fed by springs and I never saw it low, right now its 1 foot low and going down daily.
Today I figured take advantage of the low water conditions. I removed several sticks and poles that dont seem to hold any fish, they just get in the way so I took them out.
Looking at the banks I am thinking I would like to make a small beach. Maybe 10 feet, just somplace my dogs could walk into the water.
Does anyone have any tips or advice on making a small beach that will hold up to weeds and things. I was thinking gravel and sand, maybe gravel first then sand on top. Any advice would be very aprieciated.
Joey

Joey,
Make the sand and gravel much thicker than you need, and use some kind of edging to prevent it from wandering away.

Joey: I had a moderately unsuccessful search for beach threads. I did find this one on gravel/sand bottom maintenance.
