Pond Construction Process: Do It Right the First Time

When you are thinking about pond construction, your first step should be to contact a professional who is experienced in the pond building process. While some may think that they can just choose a spot on their own and start moving dirt, we have heard many sad stories about failed pond construction projects that did not include essential planning and design at the start.

As experienced professionals in the Texas pond construction field, we understand that there are many important steps in the pond construction process. From the planning stages at the beginning to the final stages, there are many steps that need to be followed.

If you are about to start a pond construction project in Texas, give the professionals at Southwestern Materials a call. We specialize in clay bentonite lined ponds that are built right the first time, every time.

Planning Stages: Location Is Key in Pond Construction

Most of us have heard the old saying that the value of real estate is all about location, location, location. This same concept applies to your pond construction project. Proper placement of a pond or other water source is crucial to its long-term success and should be the first step in the pond construction process. That is why we will always take the time to meet with you, study your location, and build a plan from this firm foundation.

Guidelines and regulations vary from state to state, and from one local Texas authority to another, but there are a few key elements to consider in the planning stages well before any actual pond construction begins. This includes site investigation and inspection, which may often include completion of a permit application. Our experience in this industry will help make the process more efficient and stress-free.

Some of the other aspects of the initial planning stage include making sure that the necessary soil inspections, site layouts, and construction checks are in place. It is crucial that your site has a water source to fill your pond, whether from a well or watershed runoff. Before the first dirt is moved, before the first piece of equipment starts the pond construction, you should be sure that the final plan is carefully planned and approved so that your pond will provide the use for which it is intended.
