What We Do
Eberly Earthworks digs small-scale ponds for rural and residential landowners throughout the Conroe area. If you own a piece of property and have been thinking about adding a pond — for livestock water, recreation, or simply to improve the land — we can make that happen as part of the overall land development process.
Pond work is done after the initial clearing is complete. Once the trees and brush are gone, the terrain becomes fully visible, and that’s when we can accurately assess whether a pond is feasible, where it should go, and what the digging will involve.
Why Timing Matters
If you know going into a land clearing job that you want a pond, mention it early. Where the pond will go affects how we approach the clearing — and it’s much easier to plan for it from the start than to clear everything first and then try to work around what’s already been done.
We always ask customers what their plans are for the property. The answer changes how we work. If a pond is part of the picture, that becomes part of the conversation at the estimate stage.
What to Expect
We focus on small-scale pond work for private landowners. The right size and placement for your pond depends on the terrain, the intended use, and how the water will be fed and held. After clearing, we look at the site, talk through what you’re envisioning, and give you an honest assessment of what’s feasible.
Not every piece of land is ideal for a pond, and we’ll tell you that if it’s the case — before any digging starts.
Service Area
We build ponds throughout Conroe and the surrounding region — including Magnolia, Montgomery, Willis, Livingston, Cleveland, Dayton, Navasota, and areas extending toward College Station. Call to discuss your specific property and location.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my land is a good candidate for a pond?
Terrain, soil conditions, and natural water flow all affect whether a pond will hold water reliably. After clearing, we can take a look at the site and give you an honest read on whether it’s a good location. Not every property works well, and we’d rather tell you that upfront than dig something that won’t perform.
What size ponds do you build?
We handle small-scale pond work for private landowners. The right size depends on your intended use and what the terrain supports. We’ll talk through what’s practical when we assess the site.
Do I have to clear the land first before you’ll dig a pond?
In most cases, yes — clearing first gives us full visibility of the terrain, which matters a lot for pond placement and planning. If your land is already clear and you just need a pond dug, call and describe the property. We’ll let you know if we can take it on as a standalone job.
How long does it take to dig a pond?
It depends on the size and the conditions on-site. We’ll give you a timeline when we assess the property and put together your estimate.
Does building a pond affect the rest of the property?
It can, depending on where the pond is located and how the surrounding land drains. This is part of the assessment we do before digging. If there are drainage or grading considerations, we’ll factor those into the plan.
How do I get started?
Call (832) 473-3846 or fill out the contact form. Tell us about the property, where it’s located, and what you have in mind. If clearing hasn’t been done yet, we can talk through the full sequence together.
Services That Come Before and After Pond Building
A pond doesn’t get built in isolation — it’s usually the result of a property coming together in stages. The work that leads up to it, and sometimes follows it, determines how smoothly the whole project goes.
Land clearing is almost always the first step. Getting the trees and brush off the property gives us a clear view of the terrain, which is what we need to assess whether a pond is feasible and where it should be placed.
For wooded properties, forestry mulching is one of the more efficient ways to get cleared quickly and with minimal ground disturbance — setting the stage for pond planning and digging.
Once the pond is in, surrounding areas of the property often benefit from grading and site prep — shaping the land around the pond, improving drainage, or putting in a road for access.
If the property also has sections that need terrain reshaped beyond pond work, that falls under our general excavation services.
