In the fall of 2002, we undertook the task to design and install a 1 1/2 acre pond on a local farm. The project involved design, permitting, installation and finishing. We worked closely with the MD. Soil Conservation District during the project and we are approved by the Soil Conservation District to do this type of excavation. The photos below show various phases of the construction.

If you are interested in pursuing  wildlife habitat development, there are many options and there may be auxiliary funding available. We are familiar with the processes and permitting required and have experience developing such property. Call us for an appointment to discuss your situation. 
We were in the process of the planting additional grasses so the pond above was at roughly 75% capacity when this last photo was taken. It is already being used by waterfowl and other wildlife. 

This series of photos is of work done at Bombay Hook Wildlife Refuge in Delaware. We contracted to remove an old deck and install a new prefabricated deck in it's place. The area is very marshy and we used mats under our equipment to minimize damage done to the area.
