Location : East Texas
Got a low area on our 10 acres , sort of like a small valley or bottom land. not much elevation change form one side of the bottom to the other, with a small stream flowing thru this bottom land. The stream does not flow very fast because there is not much drop over the 500 ft distance across our property. Anyway the soil down there stays wet if you dig down about a foot on either side of the
stream. It is almost like a wetland I guess. I had a tree guy come in and cut a bunch of Birch, Pine, and a few Sweetgums in the area for the pond. Pretty much clear cut the area.
The stream goes dry in the summer.
Any pond builders out there? Thinking about 3/4 acre pond. Will have to be dug out. Not sure how far down the clay is, it is very sandy soil.
