Alright, this site gives me hope. I have bought my land, had my lake site surveyed, but... I have heard figures from $65,000 to $275,000 to build this lake with a 430' dam. I am using a very experienced lake building surveyor and an engineer he recommended but I am worried I could easily pay too much to get my 20 acre lake built. Question is: Does anyone have experience in pricing a lake from start to finish (not adding fish, ect). I am going the route of actually being the contractor and hiring the subs but wonder if I should just hire a lake building company. Any references for the latter would be appreciated as well as good overall advice.
thanks in advance!!!
Sparkster31, send a PM to Brian Hoffman (Highflyer) about a pond builder in your area.
He did an outstanding job for Brian's 10 acre lake and I have seen the pond builder's private lake.
Welcome to the forum - several PB'ers in the area.
Allen (FireIsHot) has a lake just north of Emory.
Good Luck,
George Glazener
