Pond Excavation in Burlingame, KS

Burlingame is about 80 miles southwest of our Shawnee shop in western Osage County, in pasture and farm country along the old Santa Fe Trail route. Ponds out here are working water, mostly for cattle, with fishing and wildlife as a bonus.

We help you choose a site with enough drainage to keep the pond full, test the soil for sealing, and then clear, dig, shape and compact the basin and dam. Limestone often shows up near the surface in this part of Kansas; when it does, our rock breaker deals with it so the pond reaches the depth it needs. A properly sized spillway keeps heavy rains from cutting into the dam.

Larger dams can require approval from the Kansas Department of Agriculture's Division of Water Resources, and the county conservation district may offer cost-share for livestock ponds. We plan Burlingame jobs to finish in one trip. For a free pond estimate, call (913) 912-3820.
