Our pond is about 40 years old. The back of the dam is very steep so that I doubt it could be safely bushhogged. Last year when we had some logging done I had the loggers clear off all the trees. Based on the size of the trees that were there I suspect it was never mowed since the pond was built.

The next time I have it dredged, I am wondering if it is possible to have the dirt removed packed onto the backside of the dam...in order to make the slope more favorable to mowing. Could this be done successfully, and would it add a lot of cost to the dredging? Thanks.
