I watched it twice, but didn't see any detail denoting the number of beers consumed (at the end of the work day) thorughout the build. If it was like our pond build...it was a large number! ha Fill 'er up!! (both my glass and the pond!)

That's amazing to see. I know elevation doesn't show up well on camera, but it became evident after a few minutes that it was much higher near the driveway. So y'all basically built a dam (levee) at the low end to keep in water. Here in flat south Louisiana ponds have to be dug out. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

You would have wanted a concrete apron built around the pipe before it went under the dam. And I would have done a core trench as well. The pond you have here will seep around that pipe, and leech through that dam over time. I am not hating or bashing your video, I just learned a lot through my mistakes as well.

This is a serious, professional, pond building, using full finishing equipment. That roller/ compactor, at the late stages is a great idea, but many smaller contractors do not add that step, just harrow or rake it or drag something like broad piece of framed, weighted, chain link fencing to smooth it, then let it settle or capped of in a light rain - adequate for smaller jobs. The problem there being hoping a major rain and erosion doesnt happen before completion. Some guys do almost all the work on small ponds with just a decent sized dozer, alone. It all depends on how much you can, or want to, invest in the project. Going cheaper and sloppier, with risk of wall failures, not recommended for a big pond.

Hmm, surprised that the dam was not compacted in lifts. I did concrete construction for years, and always used gravel for fill since it is so plentiful here. Never more than 6 inch lifts without compaction. When ever I saw dirt being used for fill, they would use a sheep's foot roller to compact the soil, and in lifts again. The cat doesn't have enough pounds per square foot pressure to do a good compaction since the tracks are pretty wide and long. I would expect that dam to settle quite a bit in the coming years. Did I miss some thing?

This is step 1 and 2 of building a pond: excavation and compaction . The next steps involve designing the pond for what you want it to do such as swimming, trout habitat, clear water, waterfowl etc. This current pond will be fine for irrigation and some warm water fishing, but it still lacks the habitat for a quality fishery.
