If your pond won’t hold water… this is why.
Pond Rebuild & Sealing Project – Done Right
This one was all about doing it the right way, not the easy way.
We took this pond down and dug it approximately 5.5 feet deeper, reshaping the basin to improve water retention and overall function. On top of that, we excavated quality clay on-site, hauled it into the pond, and installed it at an average thickness of 12 inches to build a proper sealing base.
Once that clay liner was placed:
✔️ Moisture conditioned
✔️ Compacted thoroughly in multiple lifts
We then applied 28,000 lbs of bentonite clay across the pond bottom and key areas:
✔️ Evenly distributed for full coverage
✔️ Worked into the soil
✔️ Compacted again multiple times to lock everything in
This is a layered sealing system — not just bentonite thrown on top, but a properly built clay base plus bentonite for long-term water retention.
There’s a big difference between a pond that “might hold water” and one that’s built to last.
BBB-recognized and trusted across Northwest Oklahoma, we take pride in doing quality work and standing behind every job.
If your pond leaks or you’re planning a new build, we can make sure it’s done right the first time.
