Thanks for the reply. I oredered several books from the pondboss store and read the previously mentioned thread and will undoubtly will re-read them. I was seeing if anyone else was willing to share there person experience in one spot but its no biggie.


I don't see much issue with diverting surface water as this state gets a ton of rain but if I do eventually end up buying land and adding a pond to it but of course we all know what assuming does. The property is located near an airport but it is a small seldomly used airport that flies out prop planes so noise is quite minimal. Just hopefully no one crashes into the house. I understand what you are saying about buying land with an existing pond and the potential problems that can come from it, but I'd like to believe that this is a natural pond. There are many in the city limits like this but that is another thing I have to ask about.

But anyways thanks for the advice I will try and do a bit more leg work and see how it all works out.
