Update for those that may be interested…
I ended up discussing the project with the referral I received and got a proposal. It includes a 3/4 acre pond build, plus a 140’ driveway and 50’ x 50’ parking area (both graded and covered with stone). Additional elements are culvert pipe and some ditches to control drainage and all disturbed areas seeded and strawed. Total price is $38k.
The guy said all the right things and I feel pretty comfortable moving forward, but did have one question for comments. He doesn’t install any overflow controls other than a spillway. The spillway would be in a virgin ground area and have fabric and riprap. Does this sound acceptable to the collective?
Thanks.
