What We Build
From backyard water gardens to full-scale private lakes — every project is custom-designed and built to last.
We've been building ponds and lakes in Missouri for 10 years. No two properties are the same, and no two builds are either. Here's a full look at what we do.
Your own private water garden
Backyard Pond Design & Build
We design and build custom backyard ponds from the ground up — excavation, liner installation, stone edging. We size and shape it to your yard and your vision.
- Site assessment and custom design
- Excavation and grading
- EPDM rubber liner installation
- Natural stone and boulder edging
- Aquatic plant selection and placement
- Pump and filtration system setup
Big water, done right
Lake & Large Pond Construction
Got acreage? We build private lakes and large retention ponds for rural and residential properties. From initial site walk to final grading and seeding, we handle the full scope — including dam construction, spillways, and fish stocking prep.
- Site survey and soil testing
- Excavation with heavy equipment
- Dam and spillway construction
- Shoreline stabilization and seeding
- Fish stocking preparation
- Permits and regulatory guidance
Stop the leak, save the pond
Liner Installation & Repair
A failing liner can drain your pond and your patience. We install high-quality EPDM rubber liners on new builds and repair or replace liners on existing ponds. We also handle underlayment, edge anchoring, and waterfall liner integration.
- EPDM rubber liner supply and install
- Underlayment for puncture protection
- Liner repair and patching
- Waterfall and stream liner integration
- Edge anchoring and rock cover
- Leak detection and diagnosis
The groundwork that makes it all possible
Excavation & Site Prep
Good water starts with good earthwork. Our excavation crew handles everything from small backyard digs to large-scale lake excavations. We bring the right equipment for the job and leave the site clean, graded, and ready for the next phase.
- Mini-excavator and full-size excavator work
- Topsoil stripping and stockpiling
- Rough and finish grading
- Haul-off and disposal
- Compaction and slope shaping
- Coordination with liner and stone crews
The sound of water changes everything
Waterfalls & Water Features
We build naturalistic waterfalls, pondless water features, and decorative streams that bring movement and sound to your landscape. All features are built with natural stone and integrated with your existing pond or as standalone installations.
- Naturalistic waterfall construction
- Pondless waterfall systems
- Stream and creek bed builds
- Decorative boulder placement
- Pump and plumbing integration
- Lighting-ready construction
Healthy water, year-round
Aeration Systems
Aeration is the single best thing you can do for a pond's long-term health. We install surface aerators, bottom diffuser systems, and decorative fountains that keep oxygen levels up, algae down, and fish thriving through every season.
- Surface aerator installation
- Bottom diffuser (sub-surface) systems
- Decorative fountain installation
- Solar-powered aeration options
- Winterization and seasonal service
- Upgrades to existing systems
We keep it looking its best
Pond Maintenance & Cleanouts
Ponds need regular care to stay clear and healthy. We offer seasonal cleanouts, algae treatment, debris removal, and ongoing maintenance programs for residential and commercial clients across our service area.
- Spring and fall cleanouts
- Algae and aquatic weed treatment
- Debris and sludge removal
- Filter media cleaning and replacement
- Water quality testing
- Ongoing maintenance programs
