Hello all. New here and not even sure if this is the correct place to post this so sorry in advance.

I run an equestrian facility and on the property is what used to be a pond. It currently has pine trees growing in it. The largest trees are around 7-8 inches wide. there is a ( bare with me on the terminology, I’m new to this pond thing.) large pvc pipe that I assume is for water over flow. I am told there is a natural spring the needs to be uncovered to fill it. But the back side of it is graded like a retention pond and I have found pipes from our well that run to the pond. Could it possibly be filled from that? So I guess my questions are, how do I confirm there is a spring? What is the pvc pipe with the basket for the runs into the bottom. And also can I just cut the trees down as close to the ground as I can and leave the stumps or do they need to be bulldozed? Sorry for the loaded post.


Thanks

Seems to me that a spring should leave a wet spot somewhere. Hope it isn’t one. Unless it is above the pond those things both take and give water. Can you post some pictures?


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
