I work with a lot of sand/gravel in NE - it’s our sealing nemesis. Happy to share my strategies but much of it is reflected here compacting thin lifts of clay (4-6”) depending on plasticity and often we will incorporate a blanket of bentonite or polymer as insurance. Building a pond correctly costs a fraction of chasing leak rehab later. Feel free to contact me if you’d like to review - as a volunteer here my time is free to the Pond Boss family.
