Pond Excavation

Expert Pond Excavating Services

Adding a pond to your property sounds simple enough: dig a hole and fill it with water. However, proper pond excavation is actually a very complex and multi-faceted process, and it should be left to professional craftsmen. Here at CMT Excavation of Pekin, IL, we have a tremendous amount of experience excavating and creating ponds for many happy clients, and we're ready to pass the benefits of that experience on to you.

Pond excavation depends on a number of factors. When you create a pond you don't want it to leak, for all of the water to run out into the neighboring soil. Should water leak out of the pond, after heavy rain, for example, you want to make sure the area around it is optimized for drainage. After all, you don't want that excess water running directly to your home's foundation. A properly excavated pond will have ledges to avoid steep falls, as well as other safety and optimization features. Much of the specifics of excavation also depend on the aesthetic you're looking for. Maybe you want your pond to appear natural, as if it has always been part of the landscape, or maybe you're looking for something more dramatic and attention-grabbing. Whatever you're looking for, we will work with you to create the pond of your dreams!
