Thanks for the information. Is goof to know what you dealing with. I am actually getting dirt for my house pat and I told the operator to make a recreational pond. How do I install a overflow pipe and what side you thing is good . The pond is 60 ft in circumference and 20 ft the lower part. Thanks again
Thanks for the great information! I am looking to build a pond. I am in western Pennsylvania. Do you happen to know of anyone in this area that does pond design?
if you build a pond with side slope of four horizontal to one vertical, is that safe for vehicles to drive on? what's the ideal pond depth to breed fish?
in most cases it will be, a lot depends on the type of vehicle and of course the driver. if your pond or lake has an average depth of 6-8' our fish will do just fine
you can as long as you know your state laws . some states have rules on how deep you can make a pond . in most ponds you only will have sun light down about 10 feet so any water below that will not have oxygen, just wondering why you would go 50 feet deep
This guy knows what he’s talking about, respect mr steve
Most informative and intelligent video I’ve seen on pond construction
Mr. Steve knows his stuff. Thanks for sharing your vast experience! You are a treasure.

A real pond pro. Respect.
Would you recommend a track loader for digging a pond or would a bulldozer be better?
Great video!
Wow. 😮

Is it a must to use a roller for compaction?
there other ways , i use a tractor and pan to pack it in

A good trout pond / lake is quite a bit different
