Hi all. I’ve now had a second round of meetings with three contractors and am getting quotes. I asked each about compaction and use of a sheepsfoot roller. One of the contractors, who digs lots of ponds in the area, said he instead uses a loaded wheeled earthmover, and drives over everything so that the wheels have covered and compacted every square inch.
Would you have concerns about proper compaction with this approach? Again, this is more of a dug pond than a dammed pond, with about a 3-ft bank on one side.
