prior to excavation in order to determine actual
excavation dimensions. Please note an additional 6” of excavation is recommended per side of the basin to allow for: AquaBlox

dimensions, sufficient
backfill material and compaction required during backfilling. See the diagrams below for examples of Pondless

used.
