Pond Excavation in Lawson, MO

Lawson is in northwest Ray County, about 50 miles northeast of our Shawnee shop, near Watkins Woolen Mill State Park. The rolling, wooded country here has lots of natural draws, which make some of the best pond sites in our service area.

A dam across the right draw can create a deep, attractive pond for fishing or livestock without moving more dirt than necessary. We check the drainage feeding the site and the soil, then clear the trees and brush, strip topsoil, dig the basin, build the dam in compacted layers and shape a spillway so storm water leaves without eroding the dam.

If you're building a home on the property, we can coordinate the pond with the house site, driveway and clearing so it all happens in one project. For a free pond estimate in Lawson, call (913) 912-3820.
