I need someone to "crash" my yard BADLY!! I am determined to have a pond and waterfall in my backyard and I know, without a doubt, that I am on my own with this project! I started digging it to the shape of a preformed liner but, after doing some more research, decided to return the preformed liner and go with the flexible liner AND to make the pond larger. Naturally, in the midst of all this, my back went out so I am now at a bit of a standstill. I don't want to end up with just a large hole in my yard but I would really love to have some suggestions of the simplest and, hopefully, easiest ways of making this project happen. Can someone help me PLEASE??

hire someone to dig it out for you. it's easier on your back though it might affect your wallet
The wallet will fill again,but the back might take a long time to get right again (if ever )
