A pond in the residential area can improve the overall look as well as the value of your house. If you are planning to build a pond, an efficient and functional backhoe will definitely help in saving time.
Step 1- Outlining the Area
It is the first step before you start with your pond planning. Make sure you are outlining the area where you want to build the pond using a ribbon. It will help in making things clearly visible as well as self-contained. After that, using orange spray paint, you have to divide the sections as per pond depth. Even though a ribbon is used for marking out, spotting plays a significant role. An expert helps the backhoe operator and helps in managing the digging procedure. Due to this reason, it helps in a clear understanding of the area that needs proper digging.
Step 2- Cleaning the Surrounding Area
In the second step, you have to remove rock, fallen tree leaves, debris, or other objects from the area where you will do the digging. Otherwise, things might get in the way of digging. Cleaning the area is significant since it helps in the construction process. Not only that, cleaning the area ensures that the backhoe is not running on any obstacles. Cleaning the surrounding area will ensure that there are no underground utilities like the phone lines or water pipes. Running the backhoe for building a pond with a dozer on the utilities can damage the entire line of the phone or even the water line can damage everything.
Step 3- Depth of the Pond
You have to set the pond in such a way that the deepest section turns out to be the center. It is important to understand ponds can have different ranges in terms of depth. But, a good starting point should be between 45cm to one meter deep.
However, one thing that you must keep in mind is that the depth must depend on how you are intending to use it. For example, if your pond is long, then it has to be deep. If you are building a pond with a dozer, you have to keep these things in your mind. Another thing that you need to keep in mind is any pond that is about 30cm deep will need legal fencing.
Step 4- Positioning of the Backhoe
If you are using a backhoe, make sure that it is standing on sturdy ground every time you are digging. Place the backhoe in such a way that starts digging at the center. While the operation is active, the backhoe must be positioned near the machine body slightly at an angle.
