re: Pond cost?

I'm interested in this as well. My family is thinking about doing a 5-6 acre pond depending on cost. Hopefully it will be $30k or less.

it really really really depends on the land and location of your pond site. from my research, its nearly impossible to quote a price range without a LOT of details.

i.e. my dad had a great low lying spot where all he had to do was build a dam and get the rest below the topsoil line...and boom, pond.

Do you have any experience running a dozer?

A little bit. My dad is a sales rep for Caterpillar so I've messed around on equipment a few times. We would have one of his customers do the dirt work but the ranch is halfway across the state and those guys would have to see the place to even give us an estimate. Local guy said the price was entirely dependent on what he finds during the test dig. I'm just curious to find a ballpark of what would be a fair price.

Just finished mine and it cost $17,000 for 1.7 surface acres!
