Pond Construction
Farm & Stock Ponds in Rockwall, TX
Farm and stock pond construction near Rockwall, TX — sited for watershed, built with a compacted clay dam core and spillway to hold water year-round.
Farm & Stock Ponds Done Right
A farm or stock pond has to do its job through a dry Texas summer: water livestock, hold fish, or irrigate. That depends on siting and dam construction far more than on how deep the hole is.
We site the pond for drainage and watershed, build a compacted clay dam core keyed into the impervious layer, and cut a spillway sized for heavy rain. The result is a pond built to hold water season after season.
What’s Included
- Site selection for watershed and soil
- Basin excavation
- Keyway trench and compacted clay dam core
- Spillway and bank grading
A Good Fit When…
- You need dependable livestock water
- You want a fishing or bass pond on your acreage
- A previous pond won’t hold water
Our process
From First Call to Finished Site
Farm & Stock Ponds follows the same proven pond construction process:
Site Walk & Location Assessment
We walk the property to find the best pond site based on drainage, watershed area, and soil conditions, since the pond has to sit where it can reach an impervious clay layer that will actually hold water. You get a written estimate based on the size and depth of pond you want.
Design & Layout
We lay out the pond basin, dam location, and spillway based on how much water the site’s watershed will actually deliver, so the pond fills reliably without a dam that’s oversized or undersized for the job.
Excavation & Dam Core
Our crew digs the basin and cuts a keyway trench into the impervious layer at the dam site, backfilling it with clay in compacted lifts to build a core that prevents seepage — the step that determines whether a pond holds water long-term.
Dam Shaping & Spillway
We build up the front and rear slopes of the dam around the core and cut a spillway sized to handle overflow during heavy rain, so the dam holds up instead of washing out in the next big storm.
Final Grading & Handoff
We grade the banks, clean up the site, and walk the finished pond with you before you fill and stock it — a functioning farm or stock pond instead of a dry hole or a leaking one.
