That is good news. The standing water is most likely a drainage issue and not ground water. A high water table is not something you can do much about. Poor drainage is a nuisance but not lethal. The preformed pond sounds like it is sitting above any ground water. Facing the ties with rock is a neat idea. That should be very attractive. Is there a good supply of native stone laying around that you will scavage or are you going to a quarry or stone yard? I laid quite a bit of flagstone the last two years and mortared flagstone on one set of steps. It is hard work, made worse by the fact that I had absolutely no experience. There is no easy supply of native stone here. You have to buy it. So, we had to do it a little at a time as the budget could stand it. You are going to have quite a show piece when it is all done. The willow will be really nice in that setting.

The pic is the last stone project I did, a front walk.
