It cannot hurt to establish some plants for erosion control. I went through 4 contractors on my 2nd pond. Two to get the hole dug and two more to fix major defects. I built my 3rd and 4th pond mostly on my own. I hate running the machines but feel that I have little choice. Think that I am now done building ponds, but have a couple wetland projects that I hope to tackle. Good luck getting your pond finished!
