Pond Excavation in Warrensburg, MO

Warrensburg is the Johnson County, Missouri seat, about 70 miles southeast of our Shawnee shop. The rolling country around town has plenty of good pond sites, and we build ponds here for livestock, fishing, wildlife and runoff control on rural acreages.

We size each pond to the land that drains into it and check the soil before digging, since a pond that won't hold water is the costliest mistake in this work. Construction includes clearing, topsoil stripping, digging and shaping the basin, compacting the dam and building a spillway. For fishing ponds, we can create varied depths and a shallow shelf; for livestock, a controlled access point or fenced pond with a tank.

Missouri's state dam safety rules only apply to larger dams, and your soil and water district may offer cost-share for livestock water. For a free pond estimate in Warrensburg, call (913) 912-3820.
