I just don't get it that folks plan to hand over thousands for a pond seem to do ZERO research before hand...and no supervision during the project.

Maybe it takes a BAD first pond to make most of us wake up.

What was Waddy's line....the cheapest pond is the one you build correctly the first time.
Sometimes the research is the initial meeting with the contractor. If the contractor shows up on time, returns a couple phone calls and has a good presentation that is often enough for the typical homeowner.

I have run into contractors that were using photos of ponds I built, calling them his own in his portfolio to win over homeowners! The nerve of some people!
