DFW Metro & East Texas
Pond cleaning without the chemicals.
Mechanical pond and stock tank cleaning across the DFW metro and East Texas. We pull the algae, cattails, and duckweed out of the water with a Caterpillar track loader and a heavy steel rake. Then it is gone.
Drag it yourself
Same pond. No chemicals. One visit.
This is what mechanical removal looks like. Grab the handle and drag to see the before and after.
The whole idea
- No chemicals.
- No monthly contracts.
- No fish management.
- Just clean ponds.
Mechanical pond cleaning across DFW and East Texas. You call when the pond needs it, we pull the growth out, and you get clean water back. No subscription to a problem that should be solved once.
Pulled out, not poisoned
Chemicals kill the plant where it floats. Then it sinks, rots on the bottom, and feeds the next bloom. We pull the growth out of the water and set it on the bank. It is gone.
No monthly contract
You call when the pond needs it. One job, one price. We are not signing you up for a subscription to a problem that should be solved once.
Safe for fish and livestock
Nothing goes in the water. No dye, no herbicide, no algaecide. Cattle can drink from it the same day and your fish never notice we were there.
Built for big jobs

What we remove
Pick your problem
Algae Removal
We pull the mats out of the water instead of poisoning them in place.

We pull the stand and dig at the root mass, not just cut the tops.
Learn moreDuckweed Removal
We skim the green carpet off the surface before it doubles again.
Learn moreFloating Vegetation
Water lettuce, hyacinth, milfoil, pondweed. If it mats, we rake it out.
Learn moreShoreline Cleanup
We open the bank back up so you can reach and use your own water.
Learn moreDebris Removal
Limbs, fallen trees, storm wrack, and rotting mats hauled off the water.
Learn moreHow it works
Assess. Remove. Haul or compost.
Three steps, one visit, and a straight number before we start.
Assess
We walk the shoreline with you. We look at what is growing, how far it runs, and how deep the mats go. Then we give you a straight number, not a sales pitch.
Remove
The track loader and rake reach into the shallows and pull the algae, cattails, and floating vegetation out of the water. Nothing goes in the pond. The growth comes out and goes on the bank.
Haul or Compost
You decide what happens to the material. Leave it on-site to compost, stack it in a spot you pick, or have us haul it off as a paid add-on. Most ranch owners keep it and let it break down.
Straight pricing
Starting ranges, no games
Light cleanup
$500–$900
A small pond or stock tank with a single problem. Some algae along one bank, or a patch of floating weed to pull.
Moderate cleanup
$900–$1,800
A pond that got away from you over a season. Algae around much of the edge, some cattails, a few hours of steady raking.
Heavy cleanup
$1,800–$3,500
Thick mats across most of the surface, a wide cattail stand, and shoreline that needs real work. A full day or more.
Extreme overgrown pond
$3,500–$7,000+
A pond you can barely see the water in. Years of growth, heavy cattail root mass, and debris. Multiple days on site.
These are starting ranges. Final quote comes after photos or a site visit. Price moves with pond size, how thick the growth is, how far the material has to travel, and whether you want it hauled off.
The machine
A track loader and a rake built for water
A Caterpillar compact track loader spreads its weight over tracks, not tires, so it works the soft ground at the water's edge. The heavy steel landscape rake reaches into the shallows and lifts out mats that a rake and a pair of waders never could.

From the ranches west of Fort Worth out through the piney woods of East Texas. If you have a pond or a stock tank going green, there is a good chance you are in our range.
Common questions
The stuff people ask
What makes mechanical pond cleaning different from spraying?
Spraying kills the plant and leaves it in the water. It sinks, rots on the bottom, and turns into the nutrients that feed the next bloom. So you are back where you started in a few weeks, and now there is a dead layer of muck on the bottom too. We physically remove the growth. The track loader and rake pull the algae, cattails, and floating mats out of the water and set them on the bank. Nothing is left to rot. What is gone is gone.
Is it safe for my fish and my livestock?
Yes. We never put anything in the water. No herbicide, no algaecide, no dye, nothing. Because there are no chemicals, there is no waiting period and no risk to the fish. Cattle and horses can drink from the pond the same day we work it. That is the whole reason we do it this way.
Will the algae just come back?
Some regrowth is normal because ponds are living things, but it comes back far slower than after a spray job. When you spray, the dead plant matter stays in the pond and becomes fertilizer for the next bloom, so it returns fast and often worse. When we remove the growth, we remove the nutrients locked up in it too. Many ponds go a full season or longer before they need another visit, and some only need us once.
How long does a job take?
Most ponds are a half day to a full day. A small stock tank with one problem might be a couple of hours. A large pond that has not been touched in years can run multiple days. We give you the time estimate with the quote so there are no surprises.
