Ponds & Water Features across the Rio Grande Valley

Ponds and tanks dug from scratch, and existing ponds cleaned out, deepened and reshaped when they have silted in.

Based in Edinburg, we take this work throughout the Valley — McAllen, Mission, Pharr, Weslaco, Harlingen and Brownsville included.

Ponds & Water Features project

What is ponds & water features?

Pond work is large-volume excavation with shaping — digging the basin, sloping the banks, and placing the spoil somewhere useful on the property or hauling it away.

Do I need it?

If you want water storage for livestock, irrigation or the look of it, or your existing pond has filled with silt and no longer holds what it used to, this is the work.

Signs you may need this

  • An existing pond that holds far less than it used to
  • Silted-in banks and shallow water
  • Land where you want water storage for stock or irrigation

How our process works

  1. 01

    Tell us the size

    Rough surface dimensions and how deep you want it.

  2. 02

    Site walk

    Pond work almost always needs to be looked at on site.

  3. 03

    Spoil plan

    Where the excavated material goes matters as much as the hole.

  4. 04

    Dig and shape

    Basin dug, banks sloped.

What determines cost?

We don't publish prices we can't stand behind. These are the things that move the number:

  • Surface area and depth
  • Total volume of material moved
  • Soil type and groundwater
  • Where the spoil goes
  • Access for equipment

Before we arrive

  • Mark where you want the pond
  • Point out property lines, wells and buried lines
  • Let us know about any drainage feeding the area

Common questions

Ponds & Water Features FAQ

Can you clean out an existing pond?
Yes — silted-in ponds can usually be dug back out and reshaped. Send photos of the pond as it is now.
Will the pond hold water?
That depends on the soil on your property, so it's not something we can promise from photos. We'll tell you honestly what we see when we walk it.
