Pond Building and Land Work in Madison, NC
Farm Country Along the Dan and Mayo
Western Rockingham County around Madison, Mayodan and Stoneville is cattle land, hay fields and old tobacco ground, with river bottoms along the Dan and Mayo. A lot of it has grown up in pines and briars since it was last worked, and a lot of it would make a good pond site.
Farm Ponds for Rockingham County Land
A farm pond can keep cattle watered through a dry summer. Some farm ponds qualify for cost-share help, so talk to the Rockingham Soil and Water Conservation District early. Ground close to the rivers needs extra care, since floodplains, streams and wetlands come with their own rules. Our pond permit guide explains them.
Bringing Old Fields Back
Land clearing takes out stumps and roots so you can farm or build. Forestry mulching is a cheaper way to open up pasture edges, trails and hunting land. We will help you pick the one that fits your plans.
★★★★★
Justin was quick to respond to us and assess our drainage issues. I like the fact that he took the time to listen to us and then to explain what exactly was going on and how he was going to handle the drainage problems we were having. Once they started the project there was a delay because of rain, but during that delay he came out to assess how the drainage was working and if there were any changes that needed to be made. They also made some recommendations to us in how to care for our lawn. Justin and his assistant are professional, courteous and true to their word. We are thankful for that. I highly recommend J.S.

Madison Questions

Yes. We work throughout western Rockingham County, including Madison, Mayodan and Stoneville.
Can I build a pond near the river?
Maybe. Floodplain ground can flood the pond, and streams or wetlands nearby can bring permit requirements. We look at where the water goes on our first visit and tell you what needs checking.
Is there help paying for a farm pond?
Sometimes. The Rockingham Soil and Water Conservation District runs cost-share programs that can help with agricultural ponds. Contact them before work starts, since approval usually comes first.
