Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Selecting a site Pond build in open field - questions

Ideally you want 18"-24" of clay over the sand, packed in 6" lifts with a sheepsfoot roller.

We didn't hit clay when I renovated my pond until we hit 21' depth, so we didn't have enough to plate the pond. (the rest of the pond is sand). That is why my pond is currently down approximately 7 feet (vertically). It's a ground water pond and follows the ground water level.
