Can you strim some of it down, perhaps just on one side where you get the view from the house so you can see the pond, leaving the grass at the back for the natural look? Then maybe regularly mow the areas you have cut back to suppress it?
Which is precisely why I said "find the edge of the liner, lift it back and remove as much growth from below as possible". By doing that AND adding a new liner a number of objectives can be achieved.
1. The old liner will provide added protection to the new one.
2. The amount of work required will be greatly reduced.
3. A lighter weight, and therefore less expensive, liner can be used. It will also be easier to work with.
Its tenacious and spreads like wildfire - Im afraid that getting rid of as much as possible won't be good enough - leaving just one or two pieces of root will result in the same problem all over again in a relatively short space of time.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
It makes sense to me too Verdun - there's no point in spending time and energy (not to mention money) doing half a job and finding the problem returns.
