Every project is one-of-a-kind. Here's a look at some of the ponds, lakes, and water features we've built across Illinois, Missouri, and Iowa.
A natural-shaped residential pond carved into a wooded property, complete with a floating aeration fountain. Fresh shoreline grading, open water access, and a fountain system to keep the water healthy year-round.
A larger private lake build with freshly graded banks and a custom wooden dock and fish feeder structure. Shoreline was shaped and seeded after excavation for long-term stability.
A drainage channel and concrete spillway structure built to manage water flow on a rural property. Freshly excavated banks with a clean concrete overflow structure designed for long-term durability.
A 1,200-gallon koi pond with natural limestone edging, a recirculating waterfall, and a full filtration system. Built in a tight suburban backyard with zero damage to existing landscaping.
A 3-acre private lake built from scratch on a rural property. Included full excavation, clay-core dam construction, emergency spillway, and shoreline seeding. Now stocked with bass and bluegill.
A dramatic 8-foot stacked-stone waterfall feeding into an existing pond. Hand-placed boulders, hidden plumbing, and LED lighting make this the centerpiece of the backyard.
A pondless waterfall system with a 12-foot stream bed, perfect for a family with young kids. All the beauty of moving water with no open pond. Low maintenance, high impact.
A 1.5-acre lake that had silted in over 20 years. We dredged 4 feet of sediment, reshaped the shoreline, installed a new spillway, and reseeded the banks. Like new again.
A decorative floating fountain paired with a bottom-diffuser aeration system on a 2-acre HOA pond. Eliminated algae blooms that had plagued the community for years.
A lush water garden with lotus, water lilies, and marginal plants surrounding a 900-gallon pond. Designed to look like it's always been there — naturalistic, low-maintenance, and beautiful.
A new 2-acre farm pond built for irrigation and recreation. Full excavation, compacted clay liner, rock riprap shoreline, and a gravity-fed overflow structure. Built to last generations.
