Is there a water inlet just north/top (end of pic). I am concerned that silt does not wash in on the beach. I would check other fill options. Sand on top of gravel works well and cuts the rock amount down a bunch. Pea gravel costs too much and larger size hurts the feet. Big gravel covered with sand may be an option. White sand (masonry) not red road sand. Rock gets slippery over time with growth and or silt , sand does not. Sand can be raked to clean it up rock no so easily.
But sand gets dispersed over time doesn't it? It eventually does erode? If I go the gravel/sand mixture, what ratio would you use, as in how many inches. 4" each or so?
And, yeah, the main draw for the pond is that northern most point. I was planning on filling via a trash pump from the nearby creek and TJ had suggested digging some holes along that draw to catch some of the silt.
