Water adds use, value, and enjoyment to rural property — if the pond is built right. Big Cypress handles pond construction across Rayville, Monroe, Ruston, Bastrop and across Northeast Louisiana, building new recreational, fishing, livestock, ag, and crawfish ponds and reshaping or cleaning out existing ones. Siting, shaping, and building the dam and the core correctly is the difference between a pond that holds water for decades and one that leaks or silts in.
As a landowner and land specialist, Mike sites a pond around how the property drains and how you will use it — fishing, livestock, irrigation, crawfish, or simply the look and value it adds. Pond work ties in with our dirt work and drainage and land clearing, so we can clear the spot, build the pond, and shape the surrounding ground as one coordinated job.
A good pond starts before any dirt moves. We look at how the land drains, where the water will come from, and whether the soil will hold — then site the pond and build the dam and core so it keeps water instead of leaking it. Getting the location and the foundation right is what separates a pond that lasts from an expensive hole.
We shape the banks and depth for the purpose — fishing, livestock, irrigation, or crawfish — and manage the overflow so heavy Louisiana rains pass through without cutting the dam. The result is water that works with the property, not against it.
Beyond new construction, we clean out and reshape existing ponds that have silted in, grown up, or lost depth — restoring capacity and making them usable again. For many Northeast Louisiana landowners that also means crawfish ponds, where level ground, good levees, and water control are everything.
Whatever the use, we handle the clearing, the digging, the dam, and the surrounding grade together, so you deal with one crew that understands how the whole piece of ground fits together.
