1/4 Acre Pond Build in North Texas!

[@risktkr77]

When is the update?

99.9% of South Texas has clay, I'm in the .1% lol. I will build me a pond this size even if I have to dig up 200 yards of clay to line my pond. There is a local guy with a 750 Deere dozer and I was thinking on digging 1 day hopefully 6ft deep with slopes similar to this pond. Cool video.

Good luck! So far our pond is holding water well. We have a LOT of clay!

Any plans to add a fountain?

[@straderranch]

Wife keeps asking... but we have a good amount of wind so I'm not too worried about it getting too stagnant... and pumping a lot of water 24/7 isn't cheap... probably $1k in wire to the pond plus $500 for a pump plus $50/mo to run the thing...

[@Texasphotoguy]

Valid point.

How much does something like this cost? Thanks!

[@straderranch]

I did it with a driveway, so hard to say exactly, but probably about 8k
