You will need a trash pump(s) to keep the water down while you dig. The dirt removed may still be soup and you may need to pile it by the hole and let it dry before you can put it in a truck and move it. Your water table may fluctuate thru the year. I would figure it will be at least 3 feet or so less than it is now when you dig the depth. IMHO deeper is always better with a watertable pond. I am not a pro just telling you my personal experience. Hopefully, a pro will be along to offer more experienced thoughts. Again, welcome to PBF! Bill D. Be Brave Enough to Suck at Something New!
