Discuss fish ponds, retention ponds, and pond excavation. Intended use, soil, overflow, access, and any required engineering or approvals should be considered before construction.
Start with the right pond plan
A fish pond and a stormwater retention pond serve different purposes. Discuss your goals before selecting a location or excavating. Water supply, soil suitability, depth, overflow, maintenance access, and surrounding land are important planning considerations.

Pond Construction Questions
Do you consider both residential and commercial pond projects?
Yes. Tell us whether you need a recreational or fish pond, pond excavation, or a commercial retention pond so we can discuss the appropriate scope.
Does a retention pond require engineering or permits?
Requirements depend on the location and project. Confirm applicable engineering, drainage, and permitting requirements before work begins. A site assessment is needed before promising performance or capacity.
