I'm building a home in SE MI( Monroe county) I need the dirt to raise grade around the house that's beign built since the water table is 2-3 feet. If anyone knows, or is a reputable contractor, contact me and we can talk about coming out for a bid. Thanks

Be aware that many dirt contractors you hire for creating fill dirt will just dig hole. You build a pond and dig a hole. Be sure you read through this very good pond building thread noted in the link. Soil and basin proper compaction is critical for building a minimal leakage pond. There are many many posts here from disappointed owners with improperly build leaky ponds. Do it right the first time because fixing a leaky pond can cost as much as it did to build it.

Thanks bill, appreciate the link. Your thoughts are similar to mine, that’s why I’m kinda hoping for a pond specific guy and not just a normal excavator

Fixing a leaky pond means redoing the whole thing. When mine was built, many years ago, I didn't know anything about pond building and neither did the dozer guy. He pushed a bunch of dirt to fill in a ravine. It looks good but for many years, has leaked and run under the dam. Due to neighbors, I can't tear it out and repair or redo it.

Buy Mike Otto's book Just Add Water,and educate yourself on all the factors, like core trench(keyway). Education is a lot cheaper than 10 gallons of diesel.

Hey all, quick update / request. Turns out the township requires a site plan when putting a pond in and I ended up hiring a civil engineer to complete it for me. Here is the site plan we have that will show the pond and what were doing with all the dirt. Any thoughts? Thanks.
