For
Private Lake Associations
Sediment removal, shared-asset construction, and long-term lake health planning for the ranch impoundments and member-funded private lakes scattered across Van Zandt, Anderson, Navarro, and Henderson counties.
If this sounds like you
Your association maintains a private impoundment on behalf of dues-paying members. East Texas — particularly Van Zandt and Anderson counties — has more private lakes per square mile than almost anywhere else in the state, and most of these were built between the 1960s and 1980s. That means most are now 30-50 years into their sediment cycle. Members are watching boat depths drop, bass numbers fall, and algae blooms get worse each summer. You need a partner who understands the lifecycle of a private water body and can write a multi-year plan you can present at the annual meeting.
What we deliver
Boatable Depth Restored
Mechanical or hydraulic dredging sized to your watershed area, original design depth, and current sediment volume — typically 18-36 inches of accumulation on a 30-year-old impoundment.
Member-Communicable Plans
Bathymetric maps, before/after depth probes, and milestone reports your members can actually understand and sign off on.
Multi-Year Maintenance Roadmap
We don't dredge once and disappear — we map the next intervention (10-20 years out) and tell you what to watch for in the meantime.
Services that map to you
Lake Dredging
Volume estimating with on-site sonar probes, permitting, removal, and disposal-site logistics for private impoundments up to 200+ acres.
Learn more →Shoreline Retention
Stabilizes eroding banks (East Texas red clay and sandy clay both fail differently) before they shed soil right back into the lake bed.
Learn more →Community Boat Ramps
Concrete launch ramps engineered for member traffic and the 4-6 ft water-level fluctuation common on private impoundments during drought summers.
