Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Selecting a site Planning 3/4ac TN pond for a Fall build...

Hire a pond builder, not a dirt mover. Go look at ponds that he's built. Talk to the owners without him within earshot and ask them if they are happy and if they'd do anything different. Make sure that there is enough (and not too much) watershed to keep the pond full, or as a last resort, dig a well to fill it and keep it full.

Make a plan. Make a plan, Make a plan. Go over the plan and try to make the pond according to the fish that you want in the pond and how you want to use the pond. Want a beach to have people swim? That takes a different slope than if a pond won't be used to swim. That small of a pond, don't even think of having an island in it, it will chew up too much of the area needed for water.

Get all the cover that will go into the pond BEFORE the pond is completed, get it assembled, and place in the pond prior to water filling the pond.

If it was my pond or property there, I'd see if https://www.grayconstruction.net/ was close enough and had time in their schedule to build it...........
