Its very hard to disguise where some concrete structure has been, even if
you fill the hole up and grass it over the way it grows seems to be
different to the rest of the site quite often. Also it tends to change
height over time, sometimes its higher sometimes lower. My late father did
this with some solid features in our garden, you could always tell the
outline of them.

Hi,

I am having problems in trying to remove a concrete pond that was built
by the previous owners. I have drained the pond using a water pump and
drilled a number of holes
at the bottom of the pond using a jack hammer. I thought this would have
meant any remaining water would quickly drain away, instead the
remaining water is still there. In some instances I have drilled at
least 7 to 8 inches below the concrete and the water just ends up
filling the hole I created.

Is this expected? I have little knowledge of landscaping so was hoping
for some advice.

The water table might drop later in the year. But why not just jack hammer
the concrete and take it away, and fill in the hole?
