Pond Construction in Snyder, 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 Snyder, TX. The mix of oilfield and ranching activity around Snyder keeps our crews working across nearly every service we offer, from pad construction to pond building.

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.
