Custom Water Features Built to Last

Schedule Pond Digging in Luther

Your Luther property deserves a pond that holds water year-round and supports your livestock or recreational needs. Westermier Excavation shapes and grades each pond for proper depth, water flow, and long-term stability, using heavy equipment capable of large-scale digs across acreage properties throughout Luther and the rural edges of Oklahoma City. You'll notice the difference when a pond is built right from the start.

We install farm ponds Luther, retention ponds, and recreational water features that improve property value and provide reliable livestock access. Our work spans Luther, Choctaw, and surrounding rural areas where high demand reflects the need for quality excavation. Each project uses precision grading to prevent erosion and maintain water levels through dry seasons.

What to Expect When You Book

You'll start with a site evaluation where we assess soil type, slope, and drainage patterns across your Luther property. We measure the area to determine the best pond size and depth for your intended use, whether that's watering livestock, stocking fish, or adding aesthetic value. This step ensures we design a pond that fits your land and goals.

Once we finalize the layout, our crew brings in dozers and excavators to begin shaping the basin and building up berms. Our equipment handles large-scale digs efficiently, and we compact soil as we grade to create stable edges. Each pond is shaped to encourage proper water retention and flow.

After excavation, we fine-tune slopes and check for any low spots that might cause pooling or uneven settling. We walk the site with you to confirm dimensions and answer questions about maintenance or stocking. The result is a functional water feature ready to serve your property for decades.
