Pond, Land Clearing and Drainage Work in Danville, Indiana

Wharff Excavating reaches Danville from Lebanon, Indiana, where the family has run one shop since 1964. On rural and semi rural property the jobs get larger and more varied: a pond dug or reshaped, timber and brush cleared off usable acres, a lane and its culverts put right, and water routed so the low ground stops swallowing the property.

A pond is a water balance question before it is a hole. It has to hold what it collects, it has to be fed by enough drainage area to stay up through a dry stretch, and it has to have a controlled way to let go of what it cannot hold. Where the spoil goes matters too, since a pond generates a great deal of material and moving it twice costs more than deciding once.

Here is how any of this proceeds. You tell the office what you are looking at. We work out the scope from that and come to the property to see the ground, the access and the water. A detailed written estimate follows, and if you accept it we schedule the job and handle permits, utility locates and inspections. The crew works and keeps you informed, then there is a final inspection and the invoice.
