Hi guys. I recently had someone come out that specializes in building ponds and lakes to get a quote for 320' dam and to dig out a pond between 1 and 2 acres. They are telling me that it is a good site, good watershed on three sides, everything good but the price they are quoting of over 40,000 dollars to do it right is surprising. All the materials for the dam would be taken from the surrounding land on the farm.
I was hoping for some feedback on this from the forum. Their position is basically that they can build a dam cheaply but to build a proper one that directs all the runoff up to the pond is this price.
