In your experience with building ponds, what did everyone do with the tons of dirt?

Depends what sort of dirt it is. I used it to build a landscaped area around my pond.

Did you use all the dirt?

And then some. Actually and then lots. Look in my gallery to see the built up area around the pond.

You can use it for a waterfall, holes that need filling in your yard, etc etc.

We have an alley behind our house so we just dumped it in some low spots there.

I am SOOO glad I kept it! Just made a big mound in back of my shed. In the years since, I have needed dirt in a number of places, so it came in handy. If you have the space, keep the dirt. Trust me, it will come in handy sooner or later.
