Why Professional Pond Excavation Matters
A successful pond project depends on more than just digging a hole—it requires careful grading, drainage planning, and soil management to ensure water retention and structural stability.
- Proper depth and slope design to prevent collapse or overflow
- Soil testing and clay sealing for water retention
- Grading and drainage integration to protect nearby structures
- Custom shaping for recreational, livestock, or stormwater use
