First, it's built out of concrete and the covered with tile.

See if there is a swimming pool contractor in ' . ' , they are who you usually use as they have the most experience.

Draw out your design with demensions, note if you want shelves for plants, a bottom drain, waterfall, weir, plumbing for filtration, heater, aeration etc.

Are you capable of doing any of it (skills, tools, initiative)?

Do ponds made out of cement need a building permit?

 

[Dr Joe]

Depends on your local ordinances

(and if your willing to get caught or not)

wow, that's the first time i see someone calling it what it is... CONCRETE, not cement...
calling concrete--cement, is like calling cake--flour...

Depends on your local ordinances

(and if your willing to get caught or not)

really??? you need permits???
isn't that a shame...? that to enjoy a hobby you have to go through all that.

nobody has bothered me about permits... hope i don't run into problem...

LOL!!!

it sounds hard but digging it yourself is really not. i dug a pond at my brother-in-law and sister's house that was 40' long and 24'wide in one part and 12' in another part(sort of a figure 8 shape with a bridge in the middle and 4' deep. i dug it after work, i think, almost every day for 3 months(NO MACHINES)...once you get past the dig, the rest is easy...
so if your pond isn't going to be that big or you rent one of those back-hoes you'll have no problems...
it was the motivation that drove me to dig...

Where do you live? Concrete in a northern climate is risky.

I live in cali and the mofo I called quoted me for like 25k
