I have recently purchased 80 acres of somewhat raw land. The property has a a large sloping native grass opening in the back. Thick woods to the west and a run off "seasonal " creek they flows form west to east. I am wanting to put a pond in the open area. The pond would hopefully one day be filled with LMB and all of the food chain that goes with that. I am struggling with the contractor/DIY question. I have read a post that was very similar but just can't pull the trigger. I would get a lot of satisfaction out of doing it myself but I am not trying to waste money...ideas?
