SALLYSUE,

Did you find someone? In case you haven't yet, here's some tips that may or may not be useful:

1) look for someone to "build" a pond, not just dig it. Just about anyone can dig a pond, but it takes some expertise to build a long lasting water reservior that can be enjoyed year after year.

2) ask around your local area for recommendations. Local pond builders are generally a better choice, IMO...several reasons for that including they understand your soils and they live in your communuity and are more inclined to try to make you happy with their service. They depend on their reputation.

3) ask any prospective builder for specific examples of ponds built...then go look at them and talk to the owners to determine if they were happy with the service provided. Do your homework.

4) ask the prospective builder if he does a core trench or sometimes called keyway. This construction technique considerably adds to your chances of having a dam that will not leak and last for generations.

5) ask the prospective builder about the equipment....owned or leased and what size

6) be a "smart buyer"...learn what you can about pond building...search the net, the USDA has a great pub. and its free.

A pond, particularly one on property you own, can be a tremendous asset or liability...all depends on doing your homework and doing everything you can to make sure it is an asset that generations long after you will continue to enjoy.

Good advice from Meadowlark

Do a lot of research and assure that you know what you want done and how it should be done. Lots of dozer drivers can dig holes and stop us draws. Not a lot of people know how to build a non leaking asset that is a home for YOUR fish.

Assure that you have the correct soil types that will hold water. There's not a lot of things more frustrating than an expensive hole in the ground that won't hold water.

Pond boss dose a great job I fished some of his ponds they are good.

I built a 13 acre lake 7 years ago, and I agree that an experienced lake builder is the way to go. Excavation companies are not always aware of the issues that can pop up from grades, runoff, structure etc.

I was really lucky to get a guy that did exactly what I wanted, but $35K later, I would have been better with a "lake guy".
