Two Ways We Can Help

Whether your existing pond needs new life or you need a brand new one built from scratch.

Reconstruction

Bring Your Pond Back to Life

Has your pond dried up or been taken over by weeds and trees? We can dig it back out and return it to its glory days — no problem.

Banks erode. Liners crack and leak. Spillways deteriorate. Sediment fills in what used to be deep, clean water. We rebuild it all.

Bank stabilization — rip-rap, grading, erosion control
Sediment removal — restore original depth
Liner repair or replacement
Spillway & structure rebuilds
Reshaping & re-grading

New Construction

Build a Brand New Pond

New development, new HOA, private estate, or you just want a beautiful water feature on your property? We can build a new one too.

From bare land to a finished, fully functional pond — one team handles every phase.

Buy liner — we source the right material for your soil and purpose
Dig desired shape and structure — custom designed around your property
Lay liner — proper installation for decades of performance
Fill water — and establish a healthy ecosystem from day one

The Transformation

This Is What Reconstruction Looks Like

This is not a different pond — it is the same water body, rebuilt properly. We restore depth, reshape contours, stabilize banks, and establish a healthy ecosystem.

Before Reconstruction

Banks visibly eroding into the water
Chronic water level drop after rain
Algae that will not respond to treatment
Sediment buildup — shallow where it used to be deep
Spillways crumbling or overflowing wrong

After Reconstruction

Stabilized banks — rip-rap, fabric, native plantings
Restored depth and original contours
Clear water, balanced ecosystem
Liner repaired or replaced — no more leaks
Spillways rebuilt and engineered for your flood zone

Done right, a reconstructed pond lasts 25-50+ years. We build for longevity — proper engineering, quality materials, and native plantings that hold.

What We Rebuild

Complete Reconstruction Services

Every element of your pond from the bottom up. We do not cut corners because shortcuts become next decade's emergency.

▲

Bank Stabilization

Rip-rap, geotextile fabric, and native plantings to stop erosion permanently. Engineered for your specific slope, soil, and wave exposure.

◇

Pond Reshaping

Restore original contours or redesign for better circulation, depth, and aesthetics. Precision grading with heavy equipment — done right the first time.

■

Liner Repair and Replacement

HDPE or clay liners for ponds that leak. We diagnose the source and install a lasting fix — no guesswork, no patches that fail in two years.

◆

Littoral Shelf Planting

Shallow planted shelves that filter nutrients, reduce algae naturally, and create wildlife habitat. The most underused tool in pond health.

▶

Spillway and Outfall Repair

Rebuild water control structures to maintain proper levels and prevent flooding. Engineered for your specific flood zone and water management district.

●

Ecosystem Restoration

Native aquatic plants, fish stocking consultation, and balanced ecosystems for long-term pond health. We restore the structure and the life inside it.

Our Work

Built to Be Beautiful. Engineered to Last.

Every pond we build is a marriage of engineering and aesthetics. Proper slopes, drainage, and water control structures hidden beneath landscapes that look like they were always there.

Full-Service Construction

Everything From Permits to Planting

One team handles every phase. No finger-pointing between contractors. No surprises.

Custom Design

Ponds designed around your property, soil conditions, drainage needs, and aesthetic vision. Residential, commercial, or agricultural — every one is unique.

Professional Excavation

Precision grading with heavy equipment, proper compaction, engineered slopes. We build the structure right so the finish looks effortless.

Water Control Structures

Spillways, weirs, and outfall pipes engineered for proper water level management. Designed for your specific drainage requirements and flood prevention.

Liner Installation

When soil conditions demand it — HDPE or clay liners for guaranteed water retention. We test your soil first so you only pay for what you actually need.

Stormwater Compliance

Designs that meet all local stormwater management requirements. We handle permitting with water management districts so your project moves on schedule.

Landscaping & Finishing

Native littoral plantings, bank stabilization, erosion control seeding, and aesthetic landscaping. Your pond looks established from the day we hand it over.

How It Works

From Bare Land to
Finished Pond

You tell us what you need. We design it, permit it, build it, plant it, and hand you the keys. One team, one point of contact, zero headaches.

Site Visit & Consultation

We walk your property, discuss goals and budget, assess soil conditions, and determine the ideal pond location, size, and type. Free, no obligation.

Design & Permitting

We produce the engineering plan — grading, slopes, drainage, control structures, planting zones. Then we handle every permit required by your county and water management district.

Excavation & Build

Professional crews with heavy equipment execute the construction — clearing, grading, compaction, liner (if needed), spillway installation, and bank shaping. Built to spec, on schedule.

Landscaping & Handoff

Native littoral plantings, bank seeding, erosion control, and aesthetic finishing. We walk you through everything and provide a maintenance guide for long-term pond health.

Built For You

You Need a New Pond If...

You're developing a new subdivision or commercial property and need stormwater retention that passes inspection

Your HOA needs a water feature that looks great, holds stormwater, and doesn't become a maintenance nightmare

Your golf course needs a new water hazard or irrigation pond that meets tournament-level aesthetics

You want a private pond on your property for fishing, recreation, or simply because you want your land to be something special

However big or small the project, the approach is the same:

Design it right. Build it once. Make it last.

Questions

Common Questions

How much does a new pond cost?

It depends on size, depth, soil conditions, and features. Small backyard ponds start around $5,000. HOA retention ponds typically range from $25,000-$100,000+. Large commercial lakes can be $50,000-$500,000+. We give you an exact number after the free site visit — never a vague range.

Do I need a permit?

Almost always, yes. Florida requires permits for ponds connecting to water bodies, in wetland areas, or built for stormwater management. We handle all permitting — county, water management district, environmental — as part of our service. You don't touch any paperwork.

How long does construction take?

A typical residential pond takes 2-4 weeks of active construction. Larger commercial projects run 2-3 months. Permitting can add 4-8 weeks upfront — which is why we start that process immediately. You'll have a detailed schedule before we break ground.

What size pond can you build?

Everything from small backyard water features (1/10 acre) to large commercial retention ponds and lakes (10+ acres). The process scales — the engineering rigor doesn't change whether it's a koi pond or a 5-acre lake.

What if my soil doesn't hold water?

Sandy soil is common in Florida. If your soil can't hold water naturally, we install an HDPE or clay liner. We always test soil before recommending a liner — so you only pay for it if you actually need it. Many sites do fine without one.
