Pond Building Contractors in Bloomington, IN

Pond cost depends on size, depth, soil, access for equipment and what happens to the dirt we dig out. Monroe County's hills and karst take more site work than flat clay ground, so a pond here can run higher than one on the till plains, and we price in the drive from Rosedale. We give free on-site estimates in Bloomington, so you will know the real number before we start. Our pond construction cost guide covers each factor.

Dredging cost comes down to how much silt is in the pond, the pond's size, whether we can draw the water down and where the spoils go. Many ponds on the wooded acreage near Lake Lemon and Unionville have never been cleaned out. Because of the drive, dredging in Monroe County works best as a larger job or grouped with other work. We will walk the pond with you, check the sediment depth and give you a free estimate.

It depends on the size and location. If the project disturbs one acre or more, IDEM's Construction Stormwater General Permit applies, and pond building is not covered by the farming exemption. Most farm ponds fall below IDNR's dam safety thresholds, but a pond near a floodway along Salt Creek, Bean Blossom Creek or Clear Creek can need state review. We will walk you through what applies to your property during your free estimate.

Sometimes, but it has to be sited carefully. The Mitchell Plain around Ellettsville and Stinesville drains underground through sinkholes and fractured limestone, and a pond dug over one of those will leak no matter how well it is built. We walk the site looking for sinks and depressions, keep the pond away from them and build a compacted clay bottom. Where the ground is not right, we will tell you so rather than dig a pond that will not hold.

Commercial demolition cost depends on the building's size, what it's made of, slab and foundation removal, and how much debris has to be hauled. Indiana requires an inspection by a licensed asbestos inspector before any demolition, and IDEM must be notified at least 10 working days before work starts. We tear down commercial and agricultural buildings with our own excavators and haul off the debris with our own trucks. Call for a free estimate.

Per-acre cost depends on how thick the trees and brush are, the size of the timber, the slope and whether debris is burned, buried or hauled. Because we clear with excavators and dozers, we are the best value on larger wooded tracts like the hillsides around Lake Monroe or the ridges toward Yellowwood and Morgan-Monroe state forests. Winter clearing on frozen ground can also save time and limit rutting. We give free estimates after walking the property.

Yes, for the right size of job. Spencer and Ellettsville are on our way in along SR-46, so they are the easiest Monroe County area trips for us. Bedford, Nashville and Martinsville are a little farther but still within our 75-mile outer range. The farther the drive, the better fit larger pond, dredging and clearing projects are. See our service areas page, or call and we will give you a straight answer.
