HELLO,
I am new here and may have missed seeing this answered in the past.. but
I am in the planning phase of my pond.. I had an old farm pond that was heavily silted in... and decided I wanted a bigger body of water. I am planning to reconstruct the dam ( the old one leaked anyway) and move it further down "hill". There are 3 large oak trees that are near the edge of where I want to build my dam. and my question is: how close can I build my dam to these trees without cutting them down?
is it possible to build the core trench within say 15 feet of the trees and build the back of the dam around the trees?
thanks
