LAKES & PONDS

Lakes, Ponds and Dams

Your Dream Lake or Pond

Designer lakes and ponds are our specialty. We strive to incorporate functionality with awe inspiring beauty. You will find local old-timers that have been running a bulldozer for years, who believe a tank is a round hole in the ground. Sure we can dig a hole, but we excel in designing and building things like: fish habitat, islands, coves and peninsulas. We create beautiful, lasting water features that flow with the land and give you an investment to enjoy for years to come.

New Pond Construction

Bring Water and Beauty to Your Property

Sometimes looking at property, it can be hard to imagine what a large, finished designer lake would look like. The lake pictured below is an example where the customer gave us a budget and location for a new pond, and instead of digging a round hole, we created a water feature that flows with the land and trees.

Why Choose Us?

The lakes and ponds that we create are different from other excavation companies. We incorporate the natural habitat, terrain, and curvature of the topography into flowing shorelines to create a lasting, valuable asset, that combines both function and beauty.

Value

A new lake or well designed large pond will typically increase a property's value by twice the cost of building the project.

Pond Restoration

Revive an Silted In or Leaking Pond

Over time silt can get washed down into your pond or lake and it will eventually need to be restored. We have re-worked many ponds by removing the silt, rebuilding the dam, fixing the spillway, or fixing a leak in the bottom of the tank. If you need a lake or pond doctor, just call us. Pictured below is one such project. Slide the bar to see the before and after of this pond restoration. 13 Years later, this pond still holds water.

Why Choose Us?

All of the lakes and ponds featured below were restorations. Some had as much as 5' of silt in the bottom of them, others had leaked for many years. Having a lake or pond that leaks water, has a eroded dam, or that is silted in costs your ranch a precious water resource that is being lost. The cost of fixing a water tank so that it functions properly far out ways the loss of a valuable commodity.

Pond Liners

Alternatives for Water Retention

Every location has it's own difficulties but, some take it to the next level to where bentonite or a vinyl liner must be used. If clay can't be found in sufficient quantities, then alternative methods can be used. We have the education and experience to install a liner and build a tank that will hold water.
