Pond Excavation in Smithville, MO

Smithville is in northern Clay County, about 35 miles north of our Shawnee shop. Even with Smithville Lake right next door, many homeowners on acreage around town want a private pond for fishing, scenery or to manage runoff from rolling, wooded lots.

We start with the lay of the land: where water flows, how much area drains to the site, and whether the soil will seal. Then we clear trees and brush, strip topsoil, dig and shape the basin, build and compact the dam and set an overflow sized for heavy rain. On wooded properties, we can clear just enough around the pond to give it a clean edge while keeping the setting natural.

If you're building, we can dig the pond in the same visit as the basement and driveway. For a free pond estimate in Smithville, call (913) 912-3820.
