Will absolutely give this a try. Many thanks.

It is a drain off the road, into the pond which has an overflow into the river that runs along the boundary. I'm assuming I'll have to 'connect' the drain from the road to the overflow into the river.

I'm sorry, have I upset you Shumungus? I havent argued with anyone. In fact, I wholly appreciate every bit of advice I have received so far.

And this is exactly why I came here with the query. Thanks Kidds.

That would make sense. The site is pretty uneven in places and the grass it quite patchy, maybe indicating the soil from the pond was spread over the rest of the plot and seeded?

Id worry if that was a possibility. Forgive my ignorance but why would nothing ever grow after? If it makes any difference it will only be seeded for grass.

This had crossed my mind. Maybe this is something the aforementioned 'Farmer Phil' could help with.

Not yet, but it was something someone else has advised I do. The pond looks recently dug if that makes any difference? And now only centimetres deep.

Is that something you can help with ploughman1963?

That's still 7x my estimate so I think it's safe to say I was way off! What sort of cost would I be looking at for that quantity? I wonder weather it'd be best to level using the surrounding soil? I have no experience in this area I might add.

Soil needed to backfill a pond that was dug by a previous owner of some amenity land near Wentnor. Delivery by tractor with tipper trailer due to grass slope access off road. Pond size 18m x 8m oval and around 1m deep.
