I've already crenelated the edges, when I had the pond built, and the edges were quite shallow. Over time the cattle stepping in and out seem to break down some of the bank creating a shallow but steep edge.
By the way...do you think bald cypress would be appropriate near the edge of the pond? Also there are lots of willows on the property. Not sure which kind...but they seem to be very brittle, prone to wind damage and short lived. They do sucker profusely. And they are not weeping willows.

ROFL I sure wish I had a backhoe. A dump truck too:) And a flat bed trailer for hauling hay, and a heavy duty truck for pulling a load of hay etc.
Many of the PC projects on farms of size require moving a lot of earth, reshaping it etc.
Unless you have lots of equipment or access to same, or money to spare many of these projects get tabled due to expediency.
Much of the day is spent doing what needs to be done, and little time is available for some of the PC type stuff that I'd really like to be doing:)
