If you are thinking about building a new pond, or if you need to make modifications to an existing pond, Bjornsen Pond Management can help. We will act as technical advisors on your pond project. From concept through completion, we have the experience, personnel, and equipment to ensure you get the pond of your dreams.
First, you need a water source to build a pond—such as surface runoff, groundwater, well, springs, or streams.
Next, you will need soil analysis to find out if your soil makeup is consistent with “holding” water. We can take care of this for you.
The Bjornsen Pond Management team will handle the dirt work, including sourcing and adding clay if necessary, building the dam and constructing the overflow/spillway.
In some specific cases, there may be funding available from the state of Iowa to build your pond.
We highly recommend getting in touch with us at the very start of your planning process, allowing us to provide you with money saving tips to consider. We will help design your pond for how you want it to function—whether that be for aesthetics, swimming, fishing, or other use. Having a detailed design, usability plan, and timeline will make the construction process easier on you and your checkbook.
Bjornsen Pond Management can take your pond from dream to reality.
From consultation on a new pond project to repairing and restoring an existing pond, Bjornsen Pond Management has the experience, equipment, and personnel to create a beautiful, healthy, and productive pond on your property.
