Hello Pond Boss & Friends.
I'm Ryan from Buffalo, NY. My wife and I are in our late 20's, starting our family and building our dream home on a nice 40 acre plot in WNY. When we decided to sell our current home and build I knew we would need to bring in many loads of fill to build up house site and hopefully knock a dent in the driveway, which will run aprox 800-1000ft in from the road. After finding out how much said fill would run us, we decided to dig a pond first and use the material left over.
I finished laying out the pond site with the builder last night. We're planning on a 1+ acre kidney shaped, with a deep end of 12-15 ft. The pond will be used for recreation and as the focal point of our back yard. Construction is to start next week, so we're getting very excited.
As I read through this forum I understand I have a lot to learn. Any advice or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Looking forward to being part of the community.
