"Keith's Communication was Great!"
After reaching out to a few places, this one I found to be the most affordable and reliable. Keith’s communication throughout was great. One issue we had over the weekend wasn’t covered but at least Keith was available to talk even on a Sunday.

HOW IT WORKS
Our Demolition & Site Prep Process
On-Site Walk
Every project starts with us standing on your land, not a phone conversation with a tape measure. We evaluate soil conditions, natural drainage, access, and your goals — and we give you a realistic read on what the work actually involves before you commit to anything.
Detailed Estimate
After the site visit you get a clear, itemized estimate covering excavation scope, spoil removal, grading, and any finish work. No buried line items, no bait-and-switch pricing. If the number changes, you hear about it before we do the work, not after.
Scheduled & Executed
We schedule around your project’s needs and show up when we say we will. Our crew runs the equipment; we don’t subcontract the work out and hope for the best. You know who’s on your property and what they’re doing every day.
Clean Site Handoff
When we’re done, the site is clean, the grade is right, and the pond or excavation is exactly what you were shown in the estimate. We do a final walk with you before we leave. If something isn’t right, we make it right before we pack up.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does a Custom Pond Cost?
Pond construction pricing varies significantly based on size, depth, soil conditions, and site access. A small decorative residential pond starts around $3,000–$6,000, while a large agricultural stock tank or retention pond can run $15,000 and up. The only accurate number comes from an on-site evaluation. We offer free estimates — call or reach out and we’ll come take a look.
How Long Does Pond Excavation Take?
A small to mid-size residential pond typically takes one to three days of active excavation once we mobilize equipment. Larger agricultural or commercial ponds may take a week or more depending on volume and soil conditions. We’ll give you a realistic timeline at the estimate walk — not a best-case guess.
Do I Need a Permit to Dig a Pond in Texas?
Permit requirements depend on the pond’s size, location relative to waterways and property lines, and your county. Smaller ornamental ponds often don’t require a permit, while larger water bodies — especially those that could affect neighboring drainage — may need Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) review. We’ll flag any permitting considerations during your site evaluation.
What Type of Soul Do I Need For a Pond To Hold Water?
Clay-heavy soils seal naturally and hold water well. Sandy or highly porous soils may require a clay liner, bentonite treatment, or an alternative lining method to prevent seepage. We evaluate soil composition during the site visit and recommend the right approach before excavation begins, so you don’t end up with a basin that won’t hold water.
Can You Haul Away The Dirt From Excavation?
Yes. Spoil removal is included as part of the project scope when needed. We haul excavated material off-site or, in some cases, redistribute it on your property as fill or berms — whatever makes the most practical and cost-effective sense for your site.
What Areas Do You Serve?
We’re based in Rockwall, TX and operate within a 75-mile radius. That covers the full DFW metroplex and extends east toward Greenville and Sulphur Springs, south toward Corsicana and Athens, west into central DFW, and north through McKinney and beyond. If you’re not sure whether you’re in our service area, just call — we’ll tell you straight.
Do You Handle Both the Excavation and Any Grading Around the Pond
Yes. Finish grading around a pond — shaping banks, establishing proper slope, managing the disturbed area around the excavation — is part of how we deliver a complete, usable site. We don’t just dig the hole and leave the rest for someone else to figure out.
