Q. I have installed a 160-gallon rigid pond (with four shelves) in my back yard. Once I filled it with water I realized that the level, which I thought was OK is about six inches off. What is the best way to re-level this pond? Any ideas welcome.

A. You will have to remove the pond and level the base. Be sure to use a builder’s level on the soil and also across two directions of the pond when you set it in place. Also be sure to compact the soil so it does not settle with the weight of the water.
Good luck!
