I need to correct a previous post.
Several days ago, I said I could provide a client with a 1-acre pond 8-9 feet deep, and guarantee that it will hold water, by using a man-made liner.
Mr. Smartguy here said I could do the pond for $22,000. That's not quite right.
I forgot to account for one key factor . . . a flow-through pipe and/or a spillway . . . to relieve the site of surplus water in times of high runoff.
The dirt work and equipment required for that function brings our actual cost to $28,000-$29,000.
