What drives the cost of pond excavation in Lincoln Park

  • Soil type and whether a clay liner is needed
  • Groundwater and dewatering during the dig
  • Volume of spoils and whether they are hauled
  • Inlet, outlet or overflow structures

Before you hire in Lincoln Park

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Lincoln Park was built around 1954. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

74% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the Lincoln Park building department before work starts.

Often. Work within 500 feet of a lake or stream, or disturbing one acre or more, generally needs a soil erosion permit, and ponds near water or wetlands may need state approval. Check with the county and EGLE first.
It depends on the purpose. Ponds for fish often include a deeper area so fish survive winter, while retention basins are designed to engineering standards.
Test holes tell you. Clay soils usually hold water well; sandy soils may need a liner or a steady groundwater source.
