Putting a Pond on Your Property The Right Way

If you want a body of water for recreation, commercial or farming use, go with a professional excavator and builder of ponds. It’s the only way to make sure you get exactly what you want.

Pond Construction

There are different types of ponds. You’re going to base their engineering on the pond’s intent.

Application of Ponds

• Golf courses and resort facilities
• Agricultural and farm
• Commercial and corporate ponds and lakes
• Municipal
• Fire protection (e.g., dry hydrants)
• Recreational
• Sporting and fishing
• Commercial fish production
• Homeowner associations

Impact of a Pond

Never underestimate the value of a pond. It enhances the function and aesthetics of an environment. They’re of unparalleled use in agricultural operations. They enhance corporate image. A pond on a private property or in a city park boosts community morale.

These facts are true only if the pond construction is professional and safe. Otherwise, the community exposes itself to several hazards. There could be:

• Drainage or seepage
• Potential nuisance and noxious plant growth
• Hindrance of a successful, thriving ecosystem
• Depletion of a healthy fish habitat
• Shoreline erosion

When you set out to create a pond, you want a construction that hits all objectives. You want an alluring landscape and a solution that ensures your production needs have no obstruction.

If you work with a trusted pond contractor, you partner with a reliable source ready to manage all aspects of the production. Everything from skilled techs to understanding the time an ecosystem fully flourishes will be on the agenda!

Pond Types

There are three types of ponds.

Excavation Ponds

Excavation ponds are the simplest. The project requires a dig (excavation) of the ground.

Embankment Ponds

Embankments are complex. The construction involves a retaining wall for maintaining water flow.

Combinations

This is an engineering where you combine both excavation and embankment elements to meet exacting needs.

There are a variety of design features for enhancing a pond but every construction begins with one of the above types.

The Construction Process

• The planned site for the pond needs assessing. The assessor will examine the site, existing contours, soil types, and source of water. They’ll use the results to determine the suitability for pond construction.
• Once you have the report, the contractor will recommend the best ways to approach pond construction.
• Next, you’ll need a proper survey and to map the site.
• A professional designs a site plan, looking at the ecosystem to ensure maximum advantage is taken of the site’s natural features and the ecosystem isn’t harmed by the construction.
• You obtain all necessary permits.
• The next step encompasses building the construction team, materials and equipment, including advanced laser tools and GPS.
• The project will incorporate ideal liner and erosion-control technologies.
• Once finished, you’ll receive guidance on pond management, including algae control!

You want the project to adhere to state, federal, and local regulations. That’s going to require a responsible contractor. When you’re ready to explore a pond project, contact a local pond construction company.
