Texan_Til_I_Die Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 If you're planning to enlarge or deepen the pond, that's a big job. Probably take around 20 hours or so bulldozer time. At $100 per hour, that's $2000. If you're just planning to restock, get with your county extension agent. He can give you the best dates, the correct order, and the correct ratio of stocking.
