Pond Construction in Medford, WI

Ponds Constructed to Fit Your Property

At A&C Excavating Equipment, we specialize in designing and building custom ponds in Medford and across central Wisconsin. Whether you’re creating a tranquil water feature, a farm pond for livestock, or a retention pond to manage runoff, our team offers full-service pond construction that marries practical engineering with lasting beauty. Every project is handled with careful planning, experienced equipment use, and a deep understanding of local soil and hydrological conditions.

From the initial concept to the final touch of landscaping, we provide an end-to-end pond solution—handling excavation, grading, lining, spillway construction, and site restoration. Our process ensures your pond will hold water reliably, integrate with your landscape, and stand up to Wisconsin’s seasonal changes.

Designed to Withstand Local Conditions

In Medford, pond construction isn’t just about digging a hole and filling it with water. Seasonal thawing, clay soils, fluctuating water tables, and frost heave all pose challenges. That’s why it’s essential to work with a contractor who understands these environmental factors.

We analyze soil permeability and locally available liner materials, and we design spillways and overflow channels to manage excess water. By incorporating proper slope transitions, erosion control, and structural liners, we build ponds that thrive under local conditions—whether for aesthetics or utility.

Our pond construction services include:

  • Site Design & Layout – Tailoring pond shape, depth, and position to your property goals and drainage needs

  • Excavation & Grading – Digging to precise depth and shaping the basin for water retention and stability

  • Liner Selection & Installation – Applying liners or clay seals to ensure water holds without seepage

  • Spillway & Outlet Construction – Building controlled overflow paths to protect your pond and surrounding land

  • Bank Stabilization & Landscaping – Grading edges, adding stone, and planting buffer vegetation

We source quality pond liners, riprap stone, and earth materials to match performance and aesthetics. Every step is executed with attention to detail so your pond not only works, but enhances your property.

Our Proven Pond Construction Process

Many landowners ask, “How long will a pond take to build?” The timeline depends on size, depth, and site conditions, but with efficient planning we manage every stage to limit disruption and deliver on schedule.

Our typical process looks like this:

  • Site Consulting & Design Review – We walk your property, propose layout options, and plot the ideal alignment with water sources and topography.

  • Excavation & Basin Shaping – We remove soil according to plan, grade transitions, and smooth contours for liner compatibility.

  • Liner or Seal Installation – Clay compacting, geotextile liners, or synthetic membranes are installed to hold water appropriately.

  • Spillway & Overflow Works – Installing pipes, concrete risers, or rock-lined channels for safe water regulation.

  • Edge Finishing & Vegetation – Stabilizing banks with stone, planting grass or buffer zones, and restoring surrounding soil.

  • Final Fill & Testing – Slowly filling the pond to check for leaks, monitor settling, and make final adjustments.

By following this workflow, we minimize rework and ensure your pond performs reliably over time.

Though our roots are in Medford, we build ponds throughout central Wisconsin—from rural acreage around town to lakeside properties and agricultural sites farther out. We’ve handled everything from small decorative ponds to multi-acre retention ponds.
