Pond Building & Repair in South Louisiana
A new fishing pond, an old levee that gave way, or a pond that needs a fresh start. We handle the clearing, excavation and dirt work to bring your project together.
Serving South Louisiana & Southwest Mississippi
New construction & existing ponds
Build something new. Bring an old pond back.
Every property starts with different ground, drainage and goals. We walk the site with you, talk through what you want from the pond, and work out what the job needs before moving dirt.
New pond construction
Clearing, excavation, shaping the banks and building levees, with water level and overflow considered from the start. We can also discuss where the excavated dirt can be used elsewhere on the property.
Pond & levee repair
Rebuilding blown-out levees, removing unsuitable material and restoring overgrown pond sites. If your pond has lost water or its banks need work, we start by looking at the conditions behind the problem.
Fishing pond improvements
Channels, points, ridges, spawning flats and fish cover can be part of the excavation plan. Gerald brings years of bass fishing experience to the conversation about how you want to use your pond.

Real pond projects, from the ground up.
Rebuilding a blown-out pond
We cleared the overgrown bottom, rebuilt the failed levee, shaped overflow paths and added fishing structure. Excavated dirt also went toward a shop pad on the property.

Before you get started
Pond building & repair questions
Can you rebuild a pond with a blown-out levee?
Yes. Our recent rebuild included clearing an overgrown bottom, removing bad material and rebuilding the levee with a keyed repair. The approach for your pond depends on the site and why the levee failed.
How much does a pond cost to build or repair?
We quote pond projects after reviewing the property and scope. Pond size, soil, access, trees, how far material needs to move and the condition of an existing levee all affect the work. Send photos and the property location to get started.
Can you add features for bass and other fish?
Yes. Depending on the project, we can shape channels, points, ridges and spawning flats, and place cover as part of the excavation. We talk through those features before digging so they fit your goals.
Where do you build and repair ponds?
We are based in St. Francisville and serve South Louisiana and Southwest Mississippi. Send your property location so we can confirm availability for your area.
