Thanks for the info and great welcome guys!!
Love the comments! Keep them coming!
As far as the sand, I don't think it's gonna be a problem bc the low water table. Sand pits have a much harder issue keeping water out even tough it's pure sand. Now will I have a fluctuating level? I'm guessing yes. I'm planning on having a well to supplement rainfall and add water features.
Great idea about the small trees! The rows of pines are about 35 yrs old. I'm gonna log just for the large pond but keep everything as wooded as possible. I love the trees.
Cutting out the small trees will help the larger one grow I'm guessing?
I've also got a ton of seed to replant the logged portions.
