Finally got boots ont he property today. Based on the layout of the property there is a perfect and easy spot for a Dam that would make a nice sized pond I can buy that the dam alone might only be 3k, plus the cost of clearing out everything and putting real structure on the bottom (100% that isn't included in the 3k). Land looks to be all clay and lots of private ponds nearby so not too worried about soil.

THis particular site did have one thing- THe best location for a pond would have it bumping against the road. THere's roughly 8' of grass before a steep drop off. How bad will that run off be for my fishies? Anything I can plant there/do during construction to make that run off get filtered?

Also- How badly would yall judge me if I put a man made waterfall there for aeration/prettiness?

Im going to ask a lot of questions, but only because I'm clueless
