I’m a bit irritated it’s all gone this way of course. I do have a contract and pretty generic terms and then basic line items with building of the pond and the windmill/aeration feature. They did dig a trench and packed the core on dam side at least. We got some rain over past couple days and has couple up a few inches or so. I’ve been putting stakes to mark levels and watching. I may have to talk to a lawyer, but my feeling is with how it all happened I shouldn’t be fully responsible for paying almost half the original cost to go back and have it sealed properly. Interested in others opinions on that.


Very few people can get the proper compaction with a dozer and excavator.
