Pond Building and Land Clearing in Mount Airy, NC
Foothills Land Takes a Careful Plan
Mount Airy is known for its granite, and the ground around it can be rocky in places. Land here also tends to be steeper than it is farther east. Neither is a problem if you plan for it. We walk the property, look at the slope and water, and dig test holes before we give you a price for any major dirt work.
Ponds for Farms and Families
A pond can water cattle, irrigate a garden or orchard, or just give the family a place to fish. We build both farm ponds and fishing ponds. Before you call, our guide on what moves the cost of a pond will help you understand what goes into a price.
Clearing and Mulching Overgrown Ground
Old fields and pasture edges grow up fast in this part of the state. Forestry mulching takes back fence lines, trails and hunting land. Land clearing takes everything out so you can build or farm. We also do drainage work where hillside runoff is causing trouble.
Mount Airy Questions
Do you travel to Mount Airy?
Yes. Mount Airy is under an hour from our base in Walnut Cove. We work in Surry County regularly, especially on pond and clearing jobs.
Is rocky ground a problem for a pond?
It can be. A pond needs enough clay to seal the bottom and build the dam. If we find too much rock or not enough clay, we will tell you before any digging starts.
Can a pond help with irrigation on a small farm?
Often, yes. A farm pond sized for your needs can supply irrigation or livestock water. Soil and Water Conservation District programs sometimes help with the cost, so check with the Surry County office early.
