You had a pond in the backyard. There were no fish in it. It was just a garden feature, but we had no interest in it. Well I had no interest in maintaining it. As far as I was concerned it was a breeding ground for mosquitos.
My husband was supposed to fill it or keep it drained. But the rains would fill it back up and make it a mosquito nursery. Eventually he and some teen aged helpers dug it out. And then there was the hole to fill up. It got filled with leaves and other fall debris. When the new drainage system was put in, workers dumped clay dirt on top.
We still have a lot of brick and stone and other random things that surrounded the pond. Those are also awaiting to go to Community Forklift.
I am hoping to replace the garden with edibles with no garden features like a pond.
