PONDS AND LAKES SERVICES
We provide pond and lake services for properties needing new water features or repairs to existing systems. Every site is evaluated for soil conditions, water sources, and drainage patterns before work begins.
- Detention And Retention Ponds
- New Pond Excavation
- Pond Repair
- Pond Expansion
- Dam Repair
Our pond and lake work focuses on long term performance, not just appearance. We shape basins correctly, compact soils, and manage inflow and overflow to reduce erosion, leakage, and sediment buildup.
Whether building a new pond or repairing an existing one, we account for Middle Tennessee soil conditions, rainfall patterns, and surrounding land use to help ensure stable water levels and reliable function over time.
WHY PROPER POND DESIGN MATTERS
Ponds that are poorly designed or constructed often fail to hold water or create downstream issues. Water depth, soil type, and drainage must all be considered.
Proper pond design protects the property and supports long term water management.
- Stable Pond Structure
- Controlled Water Levels
- Reduced Erosion Risk
- Improved Drainage Performance
- Long Term Pond Use
DETENTION AND RETENTION PONDS
Detention and retention ponds manage stormwater and runoff across a property. These systems must be sized and shaped correctly to function as intended.
We design and construct ponds to handle water volume and flow safely.
- Stormwater Control
- Runoff Management
- Overflow Planning
- Slope And Bank Stabilization
- Outlet Protection

DEMOLITION FAQs
What is the difference between a detention pond and a retention pond?
Detention ponds temporarily hold runoff and release it slowly. Retention ponds are designed to hold water long term.
How do you know if a pond will hold water?
Soil type, compaction, and water sources are evaluated during a site assessment to determine if a pond will hold water.
What causes ponds to leak?
Leaks are often caused by poor compaction, unsuitable soil, burrowing animals, or structural damage.
Can an existing pond be repaired instead of rebuilt?
In many cases yes. Repairs depend on the cause of the problem and overall pond condition.
Do ponds need drainage planning?
Yes. Overflow and spillway planning are critical to prevent erosion and downstream damage.
How deep should a pond be?
Depth depends on purpose, location, and soil conditions. Proper depth helps reduce vegetation issues and evaporation.
Can ponds help with drainage problems?
Yes. Properly designed ponds can manage runoff and improve drainage across a property.
What causes erosion around pond banks?
Erosion is usually caused by fluctuating water levels, runoff, or poor slope stabilization.
Are dam repairs important for safety?
Yes. Dam issues can lead to water loss or uncontrolled discharge if not addressed.
Is a site assessment needed before building a pond?
Yes. A site assessment helps determine placement, size, soil suitability, and water flow before excavation begins.
