A fully dug pond 1/3 ac could cost up to $25,000 depending on amount of dirt moved and time involved. Soil types and location are important factors. Remember -- if the pond leaks when completed it could cost the same amount or more to fix the leak/s. Ask builder about leak repair policy after pond is completed and get it in writing. Anybody can dig a leaky hole however it takes a well experienced and soil compaction expert to BUILD a pond. You can't properly compact dirt with just a bulldozer which is why they have special dirt compaction equipment for construction projects..
