SkunkedAgain, in sandy soil you can't make the slope steeper than 3:1 or it will slough off to the deeper water over time.

If you want to walk down to the water when it's low, or mow that area that was the pond bottom, anything steeper than 4:1 makes things interesting. Walking on steeper than 4:1 isn't bad, but standing on it for any length of time sure is tiring.
