Custom Ponds in Sanford, ME

A pond looks simple from the shore. Getting one to hold water, keep its banks, and stay healthy takes the right site, honest digging, and shaping that respects what water actually does.

Why it matters

The part you can't see

The difference between a pond and an expensive puddle is site judgment: soils that hold water, a basin shaped to depth where it matters, banks cut to a slope that stands, and an overflow that decides where high water goes instead of letting it decide for itself.

Honest site assessment

If your ground won't hold a pond, we tell you at the site visit, not after the dig.

Shaped, not just dug

Depth where the pond needs it, shallows where you want them, banks that hold.

Controlled overflow

Spillways built so spring melt leaves the way you chose.
