Hello I need help finding a person or company to build my pond,
Must be around Brazoria or Angelton Texas or near by. Some people will dig it for free for the dirt. What do yall suggest.

You can check with the local NRCS office to get a list of local pond builders.

Occasionally we hear of someone getting a free pond because a dirt work company needs dirt but that dirt usually has to have a certain plasticity that they need for another job. Don't hold your breath waiting for that.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

I'd be very careful. If all they want is the dirt they don't especially care if your pond will hold water after they leave.

Agree. You are the only person who cares whether your pond holds water. I have found that only about 10% of the dozer drivers know how to build a pond.
