Hello. Knock on wood, I'll be building a pond later this summer. I'd like it to be bigger but I think my site will only top out at about 3/4 of an acre. The back of our pond dam is in a spot that I won't be mowing, so I can have it as steep as possible, with my thinking that I'd rather go as steep as possible to have a little more water (granted probably only a little bit more). So, can any of you builders tell me how steep I can go just from a dam soundness standpoint?
