How much would it cost to have a 3/4 to 1 acre pond built on some property in SE FLorida?

Question

want a lil fishing hole of my own

Answer 1

If you are wanting a fishin' hole then you probably don't need any concrete/cement. I doubt if it will be cheap.
waterbodies named "lakes" are generally larger and/or deeper than waterbodies named "ponds."
It sounds more like the size of a lake.
First you have to make sure there aren't any EPA regulations or county or state ordinances of any kind prohibiting such a project.

Pro tips on building a new pond
Thus, a basic three-quarter acre pond, with little engineering and shaped like a soup bowl or a loaf of bread, will cost $2,000-$3,000. A 10-acre lake, with spillway and flow-through pipe, may cost $100,000, while adding $150,000 to the value of the property.
Avoid sticker shock. Plan your project, going in, and stay within your budget.
Send your soil to a test lab. This procedure may cost $750-$ 1,000 or more, but it will be money wisely spent.
If you don't have clay on the site, you have several options, and none of them are cheap. You may import raw clay from another site. Or buy sodium bentonite, a clay that swells on contact with water. Or you may install a liner.
Minimum pond depths.
Most of the eastern half of the U.S. (in dark) should have ponds 6-7 feet deep. Moving west into central Minnesota, Iowa, eastern Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, ponds should be 7-8 feet deep. In the lighter shaded area, ponds should be 8-10. West of that region, ponds should be 10- 12 feet deep and, in desert areas, 12-14 feet.

Answer 2

Hi there, have you called some construction firms to get estimates, look in your yellow pages, or business telephone book. What it would cost in this state surely would be different in Florida. Make sure the contractor is not too far away. Get at least three estimates and a completion contract. Have everything spelled out what you want. How thick the cement should be, how deep do you want it. etc. Listen to their suggestions you can learn a lot. . Norma
