Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Renovating a Pond or Lake? 2.5 Acre Pond Gone! work/restroation thread

Got to the overflow and had Mose into get some light work now that the pond level was known...



This is what it looked like prior to him coming in and getting into a bit of a pickle...



he kept trying to get that behemoth out and only got it deeper and deeper...



I finally got him to call it a recovery and he got another track in with a winch on it and got it out.



At the end of the day he left some deep gouges after a 3-4 hour delay from getting the dozer about swamped.



He came back in and backed out all the ruts and finished up real nice.



The pH had come up to 6.3 or so but that was prior to the new work so I'll have to add about 1000#or so to the new areas but once that's done I'm 97.5% sure that the excavator work on the pond is complete and all I have to do is dial in the chemistry and stock.

Right now it's a a little lime to hit the 7.0 pH and gypsum to raise the alkalinity to the right level.
