Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Renovating a Pond or Lake? My Pond Renovation

From the white chair to the right (west) to the platform that has the feeder on it I placed close to 300 8"x8"x16" cinderblocks that were from a couple of dry wells that I found on the property to help stabilize the steep bank that would be under water. We put roughly 20 cu. yd. of dirt and broken cement pieces in front of the platform to try and stabilize that part. From the platform to the North end of the pond we placed between 60 and 80 tons of broken concrete and tamped them into the bank to try and keep that part from sliding into the pond as well. Those parts of the pond and the small island is the only part of the pond that we really didn't touch. When we switched sides of the pond with the water, we filled in at the end of the shelf there on the West side, and tried to keep it flat and about 3' to 4' below the high water line for a bedding area, just like the finger that is on the South side of the pond.
