Hooten...so now you're really going to get confused!

best way is book an appointment with a couple of local professionals and they can look at all the variables & give you some quotes to compare and study. If you see pretty ponds in your area, stop and ask the owner "who built your pond?". "Are ya still happy with the builder?"

we just had a small pond built last summer for around $8,000.
it's a pretty little pond...probably a bit less than an acre.



in my non-expert opinion I always think
ballpark turn-key pricing for quality pond building is as follows

For a professionally built pond it is going to
be "about $10,000 an acre".

2 acre pond = About $20,000

5 acre pond = About $40,000 - $50,000

10 acre pond = About $75K-$100K

Of course there are lots & lots of variables
just like most construction projects.


Fishing has never been about the fish....
