A pond without a contributing acreage is a landscaping feature, not a tank.
Ponds
Pond and dirt tank excavation in North Texas
Stock ponds, wildlife tanks, and detention basins cut into clay that will actually hold water.
How we run this work.
Acreage in Denton, Wise, Parker, and Collin counties still wants a pond that holds through August. We look at watershed, clay content, and spillway before we dig a pretty hole that goes dry. Core trenches, compacted clay liners, and overflow that does not take out a dam are part of the same job.
- New stock ponds and wildlife tanks
- Deepening and cleaning existing ponds
- Spillways, overflow, and dam repair
- Detention and water-quality basins
- Haul-off or on-site spoils for pads and berms

02
Dig to clay
We chase the layer that holds, not the depth that looks good on a sketch.
03
Build the overflow
The dam fails at the spillway if you skip it. We do not skip it.
