Sediment in a pond should be local topsoil, (with the nitrogen leached out from being under water?). Figure 1500 pounds per cubic yard of topsoil. Most garden centers sell good topsoil for $40 to $60 per yard loaded on your truck, or $3 per 40 pound bag.

If he cleans out your pond to your liking and pays you to boot, it might be a good deal. Get some other quotes to have your pond cleaned for an honest comparison. Put all your requirements in writing before authorizing any work.

If the sediment is mostly from your land, you might consider keeping it and adding some erosion control.
