Thanks Dave, looking at the pic in the 2nd post, the gradual slope of the land flows to the top of the pic which is where we'll be expanding the majority of the pond (it'd be to the right on the first pic). The builder's plan is to place the main levee with the drain pipe on that end of the pond. I told him simply to add a lot of character to the pond (8-10 feet deep at deepest, fingers, island, steps, we may add some big rocks for structure as well, etc.). We would've loved to expand to the bottom of the pic but would've been a lot harder due to the slope. We haven't had the soil tested.
