Thanks for all the well wishes and advice. No dam is needed in our situation as the site is currently a hay field, flat as can be. We're hoping to find a lot of clay in the ground to line the pond with to prevent from leaks.
The gentleman putting the pond in has done various ponds in the area, has given us a lot of direction and is family of very good friends, so we're feeling very comfortable with him. Hoping everything goes as smooth as it has so far.
Our only struggle so far as been the size as it looks so small just staked out.
