That area surrounded by trees will add lots of leaves in the fall maybe 1ft of them per year. Pond will look nice but its life expectany will be short due to it filling in with tree leaves. All those leaves in a garden will grow great vegetables and them in the pond will grow lots of vegetation; most of it might be a big nuisance and headache. Be prepared.
