Broken Arrow Acreage and Estate Ponds
New ponds, dredging, dig outs and repairs for Tulsa, Wagoner and Creek counties properties.
Landowners in and around Broken Arrow, Oklahoma ask us for three things: a new pond built right, an old pond cleaned out and deepened, or a damaged pond repaired. Each depends heavily on the ground the pond sits in, so here is what we look at on Broken Arrow-area properties.
Broken Arrow is big, and the ground changes across it. The eastern and southern edges, into Wagoner County and out toward Coweta, have rolling acreage with prairie clay soils and scattered sandstone. These tight soils make good pond bottoms, but they can also hide rock or shale that affects excavation time. Knowing what is under the topsoil before we price the job keeps the estimate honest.
Broken Arrow Creek, Haikey Creek and a lot of smaller tributaries drain the area, and ponds on larger lots often sit in the low point of a draw. That is great for filling a new pond, and it is also why spillway capacity and embankment condition deserve attention. After heavy rain a poorly built overflow can cut straight through a dam, so an overflow review is part of many repair estimates here.
Broken Arrow spans several jurisdictions, so the first question is which one your property is in: the city, Tulsa County, Wagoner County or Rogers County. Each has its own approach to grading and floodplain permits. Call Okie811 before digging, and ask us if you are unsure whether a larger dam or any work near a stream might trigger additional review.
A typical Broken Arrow job: a five-acre property with a livestock pond whose upstream bank has eroded into a steep cut. We would typically regrade the bank, correct the runoff path that caused the cut, and remove the sediment that washed in. (Illustrative scenario, not a specific client job.)
New farm, stock and fishing ponds with excavation, basin shaping, embankments and grading.
Pond construction →Sediment and muck removal that restores depth in silted and shallow ponds.
Dig out and cleanout →For most farm-scale ponds in Tulsa, Wagoner and Creek counties very little formal permitting is involved, but you should always call Okie811 before digging and check floodplain status. Larger dams and any work in a stream or wetland can trigger additional review. We help you find the right office for your parcel.
We build new ponds, dredge and dig out silted ponds, repair eroded banks and embankments, and restore older stock and farm ponds on acreage across Tulsa, Wagoner and Creek counties and nearby areas.
