Thanks guys. I see what you're talking about now Bill Cody.

We went out to the pond this weekend and did some measuring. At its deepest the pond was 5' with it mostly being around 3-4'.

A pond only 5ft deep and mostly 3-4ft deep is a weed-FA mess waiting to happen. Anytime that water gets 2ft of clarity it will want to grow plants in the 3-5ft depths.

Good thing the pond is as muddy as a newly constructed pond with 5" of rain haha.

Correct me if I'm wrong but once they expand the pond and all the water is drained into the new part (because we are going to try to make it about 10-12' deep) I guess we will get the guy to bring in an excavator and try to make several parts deeper and make those depth changes like I've been reading about.
