Thanks guys for the opinions. I think I’m going to transplant the cypress trees, to me they are to close. I’ll probably leave the pine trees. I have young sweet gums everywhere on the property, I’ll probably cut the few down that are close to the dam. And then on the backside of the dam those trees are lower then the bottom of the dam and they are a pretty good distance away from the main part of the dam I’ll keep them but one of them is a willow I’ll cut down, I don’t want it’s roots growing up towards the dam. And I’m only 25 so I could end up being around this pond for the next 50 years and I want to do everything right and not have to worry about it later down the road.
