I am about to dig a 1/2 to 3/4 acre pond on a flat site that will be fed via my well. About 100 yards away from the pond site is a creek that has MANY willow trees. I would like to move some of these trees near my pond for both shade and as a visual barrier to a neighbor. While looking through the Pond Boss site I noticed that several people are asking about how to remove willow trees and am suddenly concerned that there might be a problem with this whole idea. As this pond will not have a dam, is that true? What other problems might I encounter?

Thanks from a new registrant in the beautiful mountain valleys of Colorado!
