Hi everyone, I am From Canada and my wife and I own a piece of land in Quebec where we are building our retirement dream project.
We bought this land as a clean slate, it was a forest!, we have worked on it for 3 years now, building our cottage (Well, this is a 3 car garage with a 2 bedroom apartment on top) This spring, we are digging our pond!
Then, closer to retirement, we want to build our house facing the lake!
See attached pics to give you an idea of our project. (measurement are in meters, multiply by 3.3 to be in feet!!)
I was thinking of putting in a small sand beach area... anybody tried this? any advices? I was thinking a gentle slope where de beach will be an dumping sand over it... will the sand stay there or will all end up in the bottom of the pond over time?
Any how, I just got the city permit do dig, and all excited!!!
I have read a bit and seem that its the place to be to talk about ponds!!
