Thanks guys. This is about 1 acre and 1 to 1.5 feet across the area in additional depth is needed and will be pushed to each side from the center. There is some downed 3-4 in. rotten timber and some small brush/weeds. This does not have to look good or be smooth. Just push the stuff from the middle to a low ridge on each side so it is out of the pond bottom. No pond muck involved. Max push 125 feet min. push 1 foot if that helps. It will not be necessary to smooth it out in new location. I am not looking for a $ guess as that is not practical without knowing the market location or seeing the job. Thanks for the info as it may help me deal with the contractor.
