Hello,

I am purchasing a home on a 4.5 acre neighborhood pond. Part of my property extends up onto the side/back of the dam. Most of the dam is currently covered in weeds/grass..my part is mostly 1-2 foot high weeds/brush.

Now I would like to utilize this part of the dam for a vegetable garden (great sun). Would mowing the weeds/grass on the dam and placing tiered beds of soil on the slope create any sort of structural problem for the dam? I wouldn't think so?

The pond appears to be spring fed...looking back 50+ years of images and its water level has never changed.

Thanks abunch!

Daniel
