Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Renovating a Pond or Lake? Renovating a leaky pond

Welcome to the forum, You are going to love this place, and we are going to love you.--Any body who will put monitoring equipment up is a friend of ours. Do not let your neighbor get you down he does not understand you like we do.

First, Clay, bentonite, liner all start the same way the ground will need to be dry enough to drive a pick up on.

If you are going to work on the pond lets go the whole way.
Start by cleaningout the muck. You will have to find a place to store it and that is always a problem.

If you have any trees on your dam now is the time to remove them.
You can enlarge the pond or make it deeper.

After the muck is out then you can fix the leak.
It will look like a bomb hit until the job is completed but it will be worth it.

Make some plans as what you want a year from now.. Fishing--swimming-- a dock-- what you want around the pond.

Another option is adding water to keep the pond full with a well--check on that.
