Hello folks, my name is Steve and I’m from a suburb of Ennis, Tx. Love this site and the great information you guys provide- Why I’m here is we just built and moved in to a house on 20 acres that will be where I retire- Now it’s time to build a pond and I’m not finding many (very few actually) “local” guys that dig out small ponds- I was looking for local because the pond I want will only be approximately a 1 acre pond and assume not many builders would want to drive a good ways with big equipment for what I think of as a small pond- Up to now I’ve got in contact with two close by excavators that said the job was too small for what they do- I did have a great young guy come by and give a bid but his ideas and prices were not in line with what I was wanting- So one of the reasons I write this is hoping someone close may see this and that I just have not found them yet- Is there an “average” cost per hour charged that I should gauge the contractor on? I understand the whole get what you pay for thing but I think what I’m wanting is simple, no large trees to clear, the spot is in a draw that has a creek that holds water until the hottest and driest time of the year- The pond will mainly be for fishing with the grandkids and we also want to put a small pier on it- So I would appreciate and info from you folks that have been in my shoes or possibly you are or know an excavator around the north Texas, Ennis area- Looking forward to the journey in here-
