I was on this forum about a year ago when we were looking at buying some property. It was very a very helpful forum! I need some updated advice.
Long story short--we settled on a 4.5 acre parcel in an area called Armadillo Hills, off FM 730 in Parker County, Texas. Our house, yard, pool will occupy about 1/2 acre at the top of the hill of the property. We think we've identified an area at the bottom of the property that is a very nice sloped area that catches a lot of runoff.
I measured off an irregular shaped pond that would cover approximately 330' x 100' (approx. 33,000 sq.ft. surface area) The width varies from 50'at narrow end to 110' at the widest part.
1. What is the actual pond size I'm getting? I have some "wiggle room" to enlarge the excavation area, etc. if I need to. I was hoping for at last a 1/2-1 acre pond for catfish, bass, perch.
2. Does anyone have a recommendation for a contractor in this area?
Thanks.
GlenB.
