Ponds

Pond and tank excavation in North Central Texas

Stock tank digging and wildlife ponds cut into clay that will actually hold water.

How we run this work.

Acreage in Denton, Wise, Parker, and Collin counties still wants a stock tank 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.

  • Stock tank digging for ranch and livestock water
  • New stock ponds and wildlife tanks
  • Deepening and cleaning existing ponds
  • Spillways, overflow, and dam repair
  • Haul-off or on-site spoils for pads and berms

Sequence on the lot

01

Read the watershed

A pond without a contributing acreage is a landscaping feature, not a tank.

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.
