Glen- I completed my new pond 1/2 acre a year ago and the costs are as follows. I am 9 ft deep at the deepest end and slope 3 to 1. I moved about 1000 cubic yards and that cost $4000.00, I also put a 10 mil liner in it and covered that with 1 ft of top soil. The liner was about $1000.00. Drilled a well and bought a submiserable to fill it at $2000.00 Installed and aeration systems, Diffuser and top water splasher. I raise trout so need lots of O2. Fish cost roughly $600.00. I also of course planted fairway crested wheat on the banks and added some plants. I also had to run 220 voltage line at $500. Extra's $500.00, so depending on your dirt contractor and if he has to haul it off you should do it for 10k easily. If you don't need to line the pond or haul dirt you can do it for much less. Make sure you get a qualified guy that has built one before. Also make sure you get a bottom diffuser so you can mix the water properly and keep unwanted problems down the road in check.

Hope this helps-JD
