Okay so I haven't been on here in a couple of years but my 1/3 acre pond is ready for a face lift. I have decided to suck out the muck. I got a quote of $8,000 to do the work, so I am trying to see what I can do myself. The pond is 1/3 surface acre and about 10 feet deep in the center. It was built in the mid 1970's and has about 2 1/2 - 3 feet of muck all the way around. I am attempting to use a 3 inch trash pump to suck it out and evenly disburse the muck in my yard to level it out. I will be posting pictures soon. I believe I will be starting September 2nd. Any past experiences would be appreciated.....and I will do the same!
