Our Pond Construction Services

OEM Earthworks provides professional pond and water habitat construction across Northeast Kansas, helping landowners create dependable water sources that support wildlife and improve land functionality. OEM Earthworks serves rural properties throughout the region, including the Topeka and Lawrence areas.

As an experienced pond builder, we specialize in excavation-based solutions designed specifically for Northeast Kansas terrain, soil conditions, and drainage patterns - not one-size-fits-all ponds.

  • Every successful pond starts with proper excavation and site planning. OEM Earthworks delivers wildlife pond excavation focused on long-term performance, not shortcuts.

    Our pond construction services include:

    • Strategic pond placement based on natural runoff

    • Proper depth, slope, and contouring for wildlife use

    • Excavation techniques that reduce future maintenance

    • Designs built to hold water through seasonal extremes

    By combining excavation expertise with habitat-focused design, we build ponds that last and perform year after year.

  • Reliable water sources are critical for wildlife movement and habitat quality. OEM Earthworks constructs water habitat for deer and waterfowl that also supports upland game and other native species.

    Our ponds are designed to provide:

    • Accessible drinking water for deer and upland game

    • Shallow and deep zones for waterfowl use

    • Improved wildlife holding power

    • Enhanced hunting and land management opportunities

    Whether your goal is wildlife conservation, hunting improvement, or overall land value, water habitat plays a central role.

Drainage-Aware Pond Design

Poor drainage is one of the most common reasons ponds fail. OEM Earthworks takes a drainage-aware approach to every pond project, evaluating:

  • Natural water flow and watershed size

  • Soil composition and slope

  • Overflow and spillway planning

  • Erosion risk around pond edges and outlets

When needed, pond construction is coordinated with professional erosion control services to protect surrounding land and preserve water quality long term.

Excavation-Based Pond Solutions

Pond construction is excavation work at its core. OEM Earthworks approaches every project with an excavation-first mindset, ensuring proper grading, access, and land shaping before construction begins.

This integrated process reduces future issues and produces cleaner, more durable results than ponds built without proper site preparation.

Reviews from Satisfied Landowners

  • “This week we discovered that we had an under ground leak in our water service line. Cody with OEM Earthworks responded to us the very same afternoon with an estimate and availability. Cody is a fantastic guy, and we always enjoy working with him. Give OEM a call and support local, family business.”

  • “We could not be more happy with the land clearing services provided by Cody. It was important to us to get as much land cleared as possible on our budget and Cody did just that. He did not waste any time and was able to meet all our expectations. He cleared AS MUCH land possible for the 8 hours of work billed. We will absolutely hire him again in the future.”
