Ponds & Water Features
Small ponds.
Done personally.
Ponds are one of the more satisfying jobs we do. You start with flat ground and a rough shape flagged in the dirt, and you end with a curve of water that looks like it belongs on the property. We do them small to medium — the kind of pond that fits on a residential or small-acreage lot, not a bass-tournament impoundment.
What we dig
- Livestock ponds. Water for cows, horses, or sheep in the back pasture.
- Decorative ponds. Backyard features, garden ponds, koi setups (the hole, not the fish).
- Natural-look ponds. Irregular shapes that look like they happened naturally.
- Small farm ponds. Back-forty water storage for irrigation or wildlife.
The honest caveats
A pond needs water. Not every site can hold one — soil type, water table, and drainage all play in. Before we dig, we'll walk the site with you and tell you straight whether a pond is going to work there, or whether you'd be digging a very expensive hole that drains every summer. If you're close to wetlands or a stream, there may be permitting involved — we'll flag it, and you'll want a conversation with the county or DEQ before we swing a bucket.
