Got a quote from the construction company today that is digging the pond to install riprap all the way around it.

-Excavate 4' x 1717' x 1' to keep rock from moving.
-Purchase and freight of 4"x7" cream colored riprap
-Install 475 tons for $11,300

That comes out to about $23.8 per ton installed or $356 per 15 ton load.


He also gave me some dimensions of the pond:

173,592 sf or 3.985 AC of surface area

47,580 cy or 1,284,649.2 cf of total volume if full to the extreme top where the pond ties into the existing ground

Thoughts?
