Ponds and stock tanks that hold water.
Cleanouts, repairs, reshaping and new builds for ponds and stock tanks on working land around Tyler and Chapel Hill.
A leaky pond is not a surface problem
Got a pond that won't hold water? Or a stock tank that holds a little less every year?
Most of the time that's not a surface problem. It's how it was built, how it was packed, or what's going on underneath. You can keep putting water in a leaky pond. It'll keep leaving.
When we look at a problem, we look for the cause first. It's cheaper every time, even if it doesn't feel like it the day you write the check.
What we do
Pond and stock tank cleanouts.
Repairs on tanks that won't hold.
Reshaping and correction.

Fix it before you need it
Cattle need water. A pond that fails in the heat of the summer is a bad time to find out it was built wrong.
Fall and winter are the time to get it looked at and fixed, before you need it.
How you pay twice
The cheapest number isn't always the cheapest job. A crew that underbids has to make it back somewhere. Usually it's in what they skip, like the dam that doesn't get packed right.
You don't see it on day one. You see it after the first big rain. Then you're paying somebody else to fix it.

Text a picture of the pond to (903) 920-7741 and tell us what it's doing. That's enough to start.
Do you build new ponds?
Yes. New builds, cleanouts, repairs and reshaping. A pond usually needs a road to it too, and we do that work as well.
