Ponds & Pond Maintenance across Houston
and the Greater Houston.
Greater Houston ranch owners, ranchette buyers, and developers hire J 1:9 to build, dredge, and restore ponds across Montgomery, Harris, and Waller counties — new farm and recreational ponds on the build-out ranchettes north of Houston, dredging on older ponds across the metro fringe, and detention/retention pond work for residential and commercial sites. Houston-area pond work spans the recreational and the regulated, and we plan both ends of the spectrum.
Ponds & Pond Maintenance.
What it is.
Build, dredge, restore.
Water work. New pond construction on properties that don't have one yet — siting, excavation, levee, spillway, drainage tie-in. Restoration on ponds that have silted in, breached, or lost their holding capacity. Pond-adjacent levee reinforcement when the water is winning. Designed to actually hold water — not just look like a pond on the day we walk off.
For Houston-area pond work we soil-test the basin before quoting — soils vary widely across the build-out belt, from heavy clay to sandy upland.
How we run
