Pond Building & Pond Construction Services in Texas

Ponds, both natural and man-made, have been used and appreciated for centuries, whether for livestock and crop watering, home use, or for recreation and relaxation. Because your pond is typically one of the most important “tools” on a farm, ranch, or large estate, designing and building the pond properly is crucial. In recent years, more and more property owners have enlisted an expert in pond building when adding water features and water sources ranging from rather small ponds measured in square feet to large ponds that are measured in acres.

Bentonite: An Essential Material for Pond Building

After the planning and design stages are complete, every Texas pond building project involves placing a reliable lining material. We use Bentonite clay, one of the most efficient ways to line your pond and prevent leakage. Why is this material so effective at lining bodies of water and sealing leaks in dams and wells? The answer is buried deep in the earth from thousands of years ago. Through the centuries, volcanic ash became bentonite clay (sodium bentonite).

This amazing material actually expands when it becomes wet, making it perfect for pond linings and for sealing structures around a water impoundment. At Southwestern Materials, our specialty is building ponds that will last, because we use bentonite clay as our lining materials. However, there is another reason we believe this is the best lining material available.

Sodium Bentonite is a 100 percent natural substance. It contains no chemical additives and our process does not add any other ingredients. This means your pond will be safe for:

• Fish
• Livestock
• Aquatic plants
• Human water source (with proper treatment)
