Pond Construction in Notrees, TX

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

Ground conditions — Notrees, TX

Sandy ground with caliche underneath across far western Ector County — the sand moves under load, so base depth matters more here than it does closer in.

Flat, dry country that sheds nothing on its own. When it does rain, water sits on a poorly built pad and takes the road with it, so fall gets built in from the start.
