I am about to build my own pond. I am looking at about 50-60 ft across and about 100 ft long average depth 8-10 ft. in a kidney bean shape. Not sure what the acreage is. I plan on spending $1000-$1500 on equipment but I will be digging it myself.
Ck. the web and get some free estimates.
Good Luck!!


My sister has a Koi pond. Custom built with water fall, rapid stream area and two pools. Really nice. (She built it herself)

Anyway, after 11 years a GBH came in and cleaned it out. Not one fish left.

Let us know how your pond progresses.


JKB,

I think that heron was down here after his meal. He was really heavy and flying close to the ground.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
