Getting ready to dig my own 1/3 to 1/2 acre pond with a excavator and dump truck rental. Both neighbors are into helping me. One neighbor wants all my fill dirt for his low spots and the other farm neighbor reminded me I have tiles running through this area that ties into his fields and down to the culvert and then finally to our watershed. I've run a backhoe before and also drove a 13 ton track vehicle in the Army so I think I can handle the equipment. The only thing I'm doing different is maybe going deeper to about 10-12-15 feet. Up here in Michigan we can get a foot or two of ice and on some small ponds it can freeze right through and kill all the fish. I had about 8 - 10 inches of top soil, 2-3 feet of rough sand, hit clay mixed with water and gravel around 4 feet. I'll make a small edge for small fish habitat...then a gentle slope down. I'm guessing I work from outside the pond around, but I'm going to have to work from the center too. I'm going to watch some more videos and I'm sure I can figure it out. Thanks for all your help.

Will this thing fill up naturally or do you need to pipe in water? Is there any kind of non pourous base material to add to keep from fast drainage? how deep do you need to go to sustain fish habitat?

I'd like a pond about this size and depth built, any way you could give me an idea of what this might cost me? And where are you located?

OK, I have to ask. In another series of videos you were repairing a dam that was leaking because (as you thought) a piece of tree had been buried in the dam and rotted over time, and the water found its way thru the dam by following that rot path. And in this video, you purposely buried a stump in the dam. So what is to prevent the stump roots from rotting and causing the same problem you fixed in another dam?

I would have dug it much deeper. It seems to shallow to me. If the customer wants to keep fish they will probably haft to add a water fountain to ad oxygen to the water. Could've been a lot better instead of digging a pothole.
@foozballdiva9 жыл бұрын
Wow. Sorry but very wasteful with your raw materials, the wood, the top soil etc. All that top soil could be used up around the edges of the pond to build up the plant material or even for raised beds some where else on your property.
