Don't get in a hurry to hire an excavator, including your ground-clearing guy, to do a pond until you find some with pond experience.


There is a reason that Theo is suggesting this. Any dirt mover can dig a hole. Excavating a pond requires a special skill set. Thought must be given to how the water will move through the pond, planned elevation changes for fish habitat, the slope of the shore line, etc. IMHO you will be happier in the long run use an individual that has created successful ponds in the past to create your pond.
