Pond Construction in Greenwood, TX

Stock ponds and tanks built to hold water, not just hold a hole.

Pond Construction is one of the most-requested services Rangefinder Excavation provides around Greenwood, TX. Caliche driveways and building pads for shops and barndominiums make up most of our Greenwood work, with mesquite clearing and stock ponds close behind.

A stock pond is only as good as the dirt work underneath it. Rangefinder Excavation builds ponds, stock tanks, and small dams across Permian Basin ranch and rural properties, sizing the dam, spillway, and basin to the watershed feeding it — not just digging a hole and hoping it holds water.

Ground conditions — Greenwood, TX

Caliche sits shallow under sandy loam across the Greenwood area, which makes good driveway base once it is ripped and compacted rather than just bladed flat.

The ground is flat enough that water sits where it lands, so pads get built up and crowned instead of cut into ground with no fall to give.
