What we do

Make more of your acreage.

A pond edge, drainage area or neglected outdoor space can make the rest of a property harder to use. B.A.D. provides pond-related excavation and cleanup where appropriate, along with grading, drainage and general property improvements. We begin with what you want to change and the condition of the site.

The finished outcome

Work with a clear finish in mind.

The goal may be cleaner access to the water, a more manageable edge or improved use of nearby ground. We define the work limits and finish before quoting. Pond construction, water retention and work affecting dams or waterways can require engineering, specialist input or approvals beyond ordinary excavation.

Who this is for

The right help for your property.

Residential and rural property owners improving pond access, cleaning up neglected ground or combining water-related site work with a broader property project.

Southern Illinois, on the ground

Local perspective. A practical plan.

Southern Illinois pond and drainage projects need to account for water movement, soil, access and downstream effects. An on-site estimate identifies what B.A.D. can handle and what must be confirmed before work proceeds. We do not promise that excavation alone will make a pond hold water.

Based in De Soto, serving Carbondale, Marion, Murphysboro and surrounding Southern Illinois communities.
