Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Selecting a site Idea of cost

Pond costs will vary greatly from area to area, soil type to soil type. It most likely will be less expensive if you dig it between 2 hills in a ravine, and dam the ravine. More dirt moved = more $$ spent. Even different areas of the country have different prices.

Before you turn a shovelful of dirt, you should look in the Pond Boss store and buy "Perfect Pond". It will be an invaluable reference.

Get a guy that is known for digging ponds. There are many dirt movers out there, but few actual pond builders (meaning digging a hole that will hold water and not leak badly). If you dig a pond and it won't hold water, figure on spending about what it cost in the first place to fix it.
