Build the Pond You’ve Always Wanted—Without the Guesswork

Adding a pond to your property isn’t just functional—it’s transformational. At Crosscut Land Clearing, we bring the right machines, experience, and precision to handle every part of pond construction, excavation, and digging. Whether you’re envisioning a tranquil fishing pond, a livestock tank, or a large-scale retention basin, we can turn your land into a water-holding, soil-secure oasis.

We work with rural property owners, ranchers, farmers, and developers to construct ponds that hold up in the harsh Central Texas climate and work with—not against—the natural lay of the land. Our approach focuses on proper slope, compacted soil, water inflow/outflow design, and long-term durability.

Full-Service Pond Construction:

  • Site selection and layout consultation
  • Excavation and digging to proper depth and shape
  • Grading and compaction to prevent leaks
  • Spillway and overflow channel installation
  • Inlet/outlet pipe and culvert planning

If dirt needs to move, we do it fast and clean.

Benefits of a Professionally Built Pond:

  • Reliable water source for livestock
  • Increased property value and usability
  • Erosion control and improved land drainage
  • Wildlife habitat and recreational enjoyment

We don’t just dig a hole and hope it holds water. We assess soil composition, nearby runoff sources, and expected rainfall to ensure your pond fills and holds water efficiently. If your land is rocky or loose, we know the techniques needed for proper compaction and sealing.

Need a stock tank for cattle that won’t dry out? We can scale the project to your land and budget. We’ll even help with road access and grading around the site.

With Crosscut Land Clearing, your pond project will be built to last—and done right the first time.
