Pond Day1 Breaking ground
What happens here
On Day 1, the team begins the initial mass excavation to define the pond's basic shape and contours. This involves using a mini excavator to dig out the main pond basin and the filtration area. During this process, an unexpected underground pipe is discovered, requiring a change in plans to carefully work around it. The goal for this initial phase is to establish the overall footprint and rough depths, including deeper areas (target 5 feet) and shallower sections, considering the sloping property.
Goal: Define the pond's basic shape and contours through excavation
