dzluk, I don't have a name for a local contractor, but here are 2 options. Call the Pond Boss office at (800) 687-6075, and get with Mike Otto. He may bid the job, or have a suggestion for a local contractor. Also, go door knocking at properties that have newer ponds. Local pond owners may be able to provide info about their cost to build, and contractor recommendations. That's what we did, and we got a great contractor that we're still using 17 years later.
