Here’s how we can help you as the pond contractor in Fouke, Arkansas, that serves Texarkana, Fouke, and the surrounding areas:
New Pond Construction
Do you want a large backyard pond for fishing with the grandkids, a private lake, or a duck impoundment for hunting? New pond construction starts with knowing what kind of pond you’d like to create.
Once you know what kind of pond you’d like, an important factor to consider is the terrain. The soil composition and topography determine if a pond needs a simple levee to dam a valley or to be completely dug out to create your ideal pond.
We’ve built duck impoundments that required a levee on three sides of the pond to capture runoff water, and others that had to be completely dug out to create the impoundment.
Whatever your pond idea is, we’d love to help you design and build your pond!
Pond Repair
Most pond repairs come down to a lack of maintenance.
If a levee becomes overgrown with trees, these trees can die, which leads to roots rotting and damaging the integrity of the levee.
It’s best to keep a levee tidy and free of trees. It’s crucial to have your pond levee 100% covered in grass due to the composition of the root system that stabilizes the levee surface.
Trust us, a small leak in a pond levee is not a small problem.
A levee with small erosions can become a big problem with Southwestern Arkansas storms and flash flooding. It’s best to call as soon as you notice any erosion because when a spillway fails, you could lose your whole pond with one big rainstorm, which can result in a major pond repair or complete pond restoration.
The good news is that if your pond needs to be repaired or restored, we can help! Call us today so we can get your pond working properly again.
Duck Impoundment
Duck season brings out the serious hunters around Fouke.
A duck impoundment isn’t just flooding a field. You need the right depth – 6 to 18 inches for most waterfowl, but it could be up to 24 inches, depending on what ducks you’re after.
Water control is everything for duck hunting. We typically use flash board risers so that landowners can adjust their duck impoundment water levels to attract the right waterfowl.
Whether your duck pond collects runoff water or you use pumps to fill it, we’ve installed both successfully for local duck hunters. We’ve helped many duck hunters limit out for the season, and we can help you, too!
Private Lakes
If you’re looking to go big with your pond – meaning 5 acres or more – congratulations, you’re entering private lake territory! While soil conditions and topography remain important considerations for any size pond, private lakes offer an exciting opportunity to explore greater depths.
Private lakes can reach up to 25 feet deep when soil conditions are favorable. In Fouke and the surrounding areas, you’ll typically be able to achieve depths of around 10 feet before encountering sandier material. The good news is that understanding your soil composition early on helps you plan the perfect depth for your lake, ensuring it holds water beautifully for years to come.
If you’re ready to go big, contact us today and let us help you design and build your private lake!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to build a pond in Fouke?
It depends on several factors, including but not limited to soil composition, land grade (how much fall your property does or doesn’t have), depth desired, and more.
The best way to know how much a pond build will cost is for us to meet to discuss your project. You can contact us via our Contact Us Page or call us at (870)840-8440. We’d be happy to meet with you!
What's the best time of year to build a pond?
Late summer and fall are typically the best times of year to build a pond around Fouke, AR. The drier conditions make it easier for heavy equipment to move around well.
The winter and spring seasons are typically too wet for heavy equipment to be used for building ponds.
That being said, contact us as soon as possible to discuss your pond project, as optimal times for pond building book up quickly. You can fill out the form on our Contact Us Page or call us at (870)840-8440.
How deep should my pond be?
For fishing ponds around Fouke, AR, 8-12 feet deep works best. Duck ponds need 6-18 inches, depending on what birds you want to attract.
Our Arkansas clay holds water well, but you don’t want to dig deeper than you need. Every extra foot of depth costs more money.
Will my pond leak?
Not if it’s built right. We compact the levee continuously as we build it up to ensure proper compaction. We make sure to follow up with our pond builds to ensure everything is setting up properly.
Can you repair an existing pond?
Absolutely. Most old ponds around Fouke need spillway work due to washouts from heavy rains or have small leaks in the dam. We’ve fixed ponds that were 20-30 years old and had them working like new.
If your pond needs repairing, we’ll come out to assess the damage, discuss your options, and then get to work repairing your pond. Depending on the repair needed, you may be limited on when your pond can be repaired due to weather and soil conditions.
