Jeff:

Running 1.5" PVC from wellhead to pond is a lot cheaper than running conduit to the pond...just something to consider if you're planning on popping a well. I've seen 300' spools of PVC for pretty cheap online. Lining the pond with rock during low spells is a great idea, IMO...aside from the aesthetic improvement during dry periods it also helps reduce erosion and provides some habitat for crays and FHM.
