Pond & Lake Construction in Goliad, TX

R&M Dozer Service, LLC – Building Texas Ponds for Over 40 Years

Build Something Beautiful and Functional on Your Land

Whether you’re looking to add a peaceful, scenic pond to your property or you need a larger lake for livestock and water retention, R&M Dozer Service, LLC is the team to call. With over four decades of combined experience, we specialize in pond installation and lake construction throughout Goliad, TX, and the surrounding South Texas region.

We don’t just dig a hole and fill it with water—we create water features that last. Every pond or lake we build is custom-designed for the land it’s on and the purpose it serves.

Why Add a Pond or Lake to Your Property?

A well-designed pond can offer both practical and personal benefits. Here’s why so many property owners trust us to bring their water feature dreams to life:

Water Source for Livestock

Stock ponds provide a steady water supply for cattle, horses, and other livestock—saving time, money, and effort over the long run.

Wildlife Attraction

Ponds and lakes naturally attract deer, birds, and other native wildlife. They’re a great addition to hunting properties or conservation-focused land.

Recreation & Enjoyment

From fishing and swimming to kayaking and nature watching, ponds offer something for the whole family to enjoy.

Aesthetic Value

Let’s be honest—a beautiful pond just makes your land feel complete. It adds visual interest, serenity, and long-term value.

Water Management

Properly built ponds can help with stormwater control, erosion prevention, and long-term water conservation.

Custom Pond Installation – Built Around Your Land

No two properties are alike, and that’s why we never take a one-size-fits-all approach. Our pond installation process is based on a careful understanding of your land’s layout, drainage patterns, and soil quality.

Here’s what you can expect:

Initial Consultation

We meet with you on-site to walk the property, discuss your goals, and assess the area.

Design & Planning

We consider water sources, depth requirements, size, location, runoff, and more.

Clearing & Excavation

Using heavy-duty dozers and excavation equipment, we clear the area and begin digging to spec.

Shaping & Grading

We shape the pond bottom and shoreline for ideal depth, flow, and appearance. Proper land grading ensures water holds correctly and minimizes erosion.

Compaction & Sealing

We compact the soil properly and advise on sealing methods (natural clay, bentonite, or liners, depending on the site).

Final Touches

We can also help with overflow control, spillways, access paths, and more—based on your intended use.

Need Something Bigger? Ask About Lake Construction

Looking to go beyond a backyard pond? We also handle custom lake construction for ranches, recreational properties, and large-acreage parcels. These projects are larger in scope but follow the same principles: thoughtful design, proper prep, and quality execution.

From small fishing lakes to larger reservoirs, we’ll help you design a water feature that fits your land—and your long-term goals.
