S.T. Since the pond is at the bottom of a hill with soil maybe marginal for packing and the finished size is 25x60, I would look into the price of a commercial pond liner. Just an option to consider. This will provide a water tight pond so you can maintain a full pond. Nothing worst than a leaky pond, esp. during a drought year . Visit

The side walls should have good clay packed tightly several feet thick around the entire basin. YOU DIG A HOLE BUT YOU BUILD A POND! Holes leak. good luck.
