william,pond cost believe it are not was not too bad,i had several contractors bid as high as 110,000.00.the guy that built my lake bid 55,000.00 to build it,i was afraid he was going to break and run so i paid another 10,000.00.have you ever tried to give away all the dirt that comes out of a 41/2 acre hole.you spread as much as possible and truck off the balance.in my market a truck and driver gets 350.00 per day,and i had alot of trucks in this hole for about 35 days.over here you dont have any low spots you can put a dam in and flood so you have to get rid over all the dirt.i have a friend a church who spent 135,000.00 digging a 9 acre pond,hard to believe the cost just to have a pond.
