Removing all trees from dam and rebuilding it - might require a new core. Then comes the excavation work to add depth/structure to your pond. My WAG would be $10k for the dam work. Figure excavation at $175/hr or $1.75/cyd dirt moved. Think you'd be better off renting the equipment and moving dirt yourself - excavation should be much easier than dam work IMO. I think I'd prepare for at least $15 - $20k at best. I would review that bid with the land owner and see if there's some room to negotiate. Maybe he would offer to split with you and drop the price $10k? Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~ Henry David Thoreau
