The most important key item for a good lake or pond is the construction of it.  A well built pond will last for a very long time. The soil is very important, you will need a good underneath layer of clay. You can’t always judge a good pond by its water color. Most think that clear water is good and brown water is bad. But actually that’s not true according to a local biologist. He says the ideal water color is that when you put your hand in the pond, you can’t see your fingers. We are the leading pond builder in Lake Charles LA. We build custom ponds and also dams.  The dam is a very important part of pond construction process. If you don’t have a well designed dam, it will leak or worst case it will actually break.  The dam needs to be free of trees and brush.  You don’t want anything that could cause a leak like sticks, trunks or large rocks. We have the excavators and dozers to get your pond and dam perfect for many years of life, fishing and activities.  We also offer full pond management services and have worked with many different Louisiana fish farms.
