I have a small 1 acre pond on my property that I'd like to spruce up and maybe use it as a swimming hole. The water is clean but there is surface algae in the summer months. There's a 6" outlet pipe and a small feeder brook on opposite sides. There are also feeder springs.
The pond is silting up on the one side by the feeder brook. Cattails have established themselves around most of the perimeter and one side it is quite shallow. The middle is about 10-15 feet deep.
I was thinking about getting an excavator in with an extended arm to go around the pond to remove some of the material to make it deeper.
