Site Preparation

Site preparation involves the following steps:

• Clear the site by removing bush, trees, stones and other such unwanted materials.
• Measure and stake out the length and width of the pond. The pond dikes will extend several metres above the ground level
• Remove the top layer of the soil and deposit outside the pond area. The top soil can later be planted on the pond dikes.
• In the case of contour ponds, a clay core foundation for the pond dike is necessary to prevent water leakage.
