Pond Excavation in Garnett, KS

Garnett is the Anderson County seat, about 75 miles southwest of our Shawnee shop, in ranch country where a reliable stock pond can make or break a pasture. Most of the ponds we build around Garnett are for cattle, with fishing as a bonus.

A good stock pond needs enough drainage area to stay full in a dry summer and enough depth that it doesn't go stagnant. We pick the site with you, check the soil, then clear, dig and shape the basin, build and compact the dam, and set a spillway. We can leave a gentle access slope for livestock or plan for fencing and a gravity-fed tank below the dam to keep the water cleaner.

Anderson County's conservation district may offer cost-share on livestock water projects, and large dams can need state approval; we'll help you check both. Because it's a longer trip, we plan to finish in one mobilization. For a free pond estimate in Garnett, call (913) 912-3820.
