Finished pond with graded banks
The MBARK Specialty

Pond & Water Feature Excavation

We use 2D grade control to establish inflow and outflow parameters, as well as dam construction to ensure adequate water flow through the system.

Why This Is Different

Digging a hole isn't the hard part

Each pond is unique; that is why we approach each project with the customer's input and weigh that against the constraints of the water movement coming into and out of the project area. The end results are always exciting because there is always a fair bit of trust the owners place with us to realize their vision. We try not to surprise customers, but most are stunned at how well the finished product takes shape in the last few days.

What Goes Into It

Accurate, not eyeballed

Every pond and water feature we build accounts for the same core factors, scaled to the size of the project.

Site & Soil Assessment

Evaluating soil type, watershed size, and drainage patterns before the first cut.

Dam & Bank Compaction

Properly compacted fill on dams and banks so they hold under saturation, not just when dry.

Spillway & Overflow Design

Elevation-verified critical elevations prevent surprises when the tank reaches capacity.

Grade & Slope Control

Bank slopes and basin grade built for stability and long-term erosion resistance.
