I have had one guy come out so far to talk strategy. I still need to make up my mind on how I want to do it before he starts throwing numbers at me.
He thinks we could raise the dam 2-3 feet to increase the size without having to do much digging to expand. I am, however, worried about depth. So we will still have to make 25-30% of it 10 feet. At least that is what I have read. Is that correct?
The only issue I foresee with raising the dam is the trees on it being under a foot or more of water. The builder said he has been doing this 20 years and has never had an issue with trees(alive or dead) on dams.
I am working on getting at least three more builders out there to give their opinion and prices.
Also, building a pond the west side of that tree line is a no-go. That is where the house is going to be. I do appreciate the ideas tho. Keep em coming!
Thanks
