talked with local pond builder today said they usually can't sell the trees, he talked to me a good deal and seemed to know what he was talking about. Said they can build a pond pretty much anywhere but with all the variables (soil,rocks,trees,location etc) difficult to give a price. Said he was working on a 1/2 acre now that is into the 40K due to all the rocks...that scares me a bit given that I buy a property and a 1/2 acre pond will cost 40K...I was thinking more along the 20-25K range for 1-2 acre. He also said not to dig test holes on the site where you want the pond due to potential leakage? test areas around the pond but not in the exact pond location.
I am trying to search through the archives on different cost associated with building a pond but difficult to locate some numbers, I did see some from 7K-15K for 1 acre I believe but different parts of the country and all the variables make it difficult to guesstimate ...
