Chattanooga TN Contractor Recommendation - 12/08/18 10:18 PM
Hi there,
I’m new to the community so I hope I’m following correct protocol. My wife and I recently bought 11 acres just south of Chattanooga TN. The property has an existing .5 acre pond. I am told that it was constructed as a cow pond years ago. It makes sense to construct it this way to allow cattle to walk into and out of the pond with ease.
However, the pond overflows with moderate rain. The dam has two old school metal tiles that act as a drain when the water gets too high. Im curious if someone can suggest an individual that can tell me if it’s feasible to dig the pond deeper, give the pond walls (because one side lacks any at all due to its use for cattle in the past), and lower the level of the tiles to help with the pond overflowing/flooding? And if so, what would it cost?
I’m obviously not an expert so forgive me if I sound ignorant. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Taylor
