Pond Digging & Farm Pond Construction
A Pond Built Right Holds Water, Not Problems
A pond that isn’t dug to the right depth, slope and clay base won’t hold water — or won’t hold up over time. Jerry Cheshire Land Clearing Services digs and shapes farm ponds, landscape ponds and retention ponds sized and sloped for your land and your goals across Southeast Georgia.
With over 50 years of experience reading local soil and terrain, and a well-maintained fleet that keeps downtime to a minimum, we bring the right equipment to ponds of every size — from a small farm pond to a multi-acre recreational lake. No job is too big or too small.
- Farm, landscape & retention ponds

What We Dig
Pond Work for Every Kind of Water
From a stock pond to a backyard water feature, we bring the right equipment and decades of know-how to get the shape, depth and drainage right.
Landscape & Recreational Ponds
Backyard ponds, fishing ponds and swimming ponds shaped and finished to look good and hold up.
Pond Excavation & Shaping
Ponds dug to the right depth and slope from the start, so the banks hold and the water stays put.
Dam & Levee Construction
Dams and levees built and compacted to hold back water safely, season after season.
Bank & Erosion Control
Pond banks graded and stabilized so they don’t wash out or slump over time.
Pond Cleanout & Dredging
Silted-in and overgrown ponds cleaned out and dredged back to their original depth and capacity.

Questions
Pond Digging & Farm Pond Construction FAQs
It depends on your soil, water source and what the pond is for — livestock, irrigation, fishing or looks. We walk your property and recommend a size and depth that will actually hold water and do the job.
That comes down to the clay base and the slope of the banks. We evaluate your soil before digging and shape the pond to hold water, not just look like a pond.
Every property is different, so we provide a free, no-obligation estimate based on your land, access and the scope of work before anything begins.
