Joe,is this the normal depth of water table in your area? If so is it constant at this level year around? If it is constant then it really want matter if your soil holds water or not. With your discription the pool level would be around 3 to 31/2 ft from ground level. I would build an excavated pond if this be the case. I'm certainly not familar with your area and conditons and your question is to hard to answer without knowing the facts. Are there other ponds in your area? If so are they excavated or runoff ponds? If your contractor is familar with your area he may be the best person to consult.
