Waterways
We design and dig waterways that help protect your land from flooding and erosion. Whether you need a new drainage path or want to improve natural water flow, we use the right tools and methods to shape effective water channels that move water safely away from homes, buildings, and crops. Our team takes time to understand the layout of your land so the water system works long-term. With proper planning and excavation, we help reduce damage and create a safer, cleaner space.
Lakes
Creating a private lake adds beauty and function to your land. We build lakes for fishing, irrigation, or simply to enjoy. We handle every step—from shaping the land and digging the basin to helping with proper drainage and slope. With over 60 years of combined experience, we know how to build lakes that last and stay clean. If you're thinking of adding a large water feature to your property, our team will guide you through it and offer a free estimate to get started.
Ponds
Whether you're building a decorative pond or one for livestock, we create custom ponds that match your goals. We dig ponds that hold water well and fit into your land naturally. We make sure the soil, depth, and placement are right so your pond stays full and useful year-round. Our crew uses modern equipment and time-tested methods to get the job done safely and efficiently. A well-built pond can improve property value and make your space more enjoyable.
