If you can operate the dozer, I would say to go ahead.

However, I find that a really good dozer guy who knows how to build ponds can get more done in a day than a brush pusher can do in three days. Lots of professional dozer guys can push brush but are pretty useless when building a pond. I've done business with some of them and learned the hard way.

Also, keep an eye on the soil when it is being built. If you hit rocks or sand seams, stop there and cover with a couple of ft. of well compacted clay.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
