Pond Day1 Breaking ground
What happens here
The property has a natural slope, which requires careful planning for the pond's construction. The goal is to 'site balance' the excavation, meaning soil removed from one area will be used to build up another part, minimizing the need to haul dirt off-site. A dual pump system will be installed, with pumps located in a back corner near a barn for convenient power access. This redundancy ensures continuous water circulation even if one pump fails. Additionally, some pumps will include underwater jets to help push sediment towards the pre-filter area.
Goal: Overcome site challenges and ensure continuous water circulation
