Why Use a Pro for Dam Construction?
Digging a dam isn’t just about making a hole. If it’s not shaped, sealed and drained properly, it won’t hold water or last the distance. We bring in the gear, cut it clean, and make sure every job is shaped for long-term use. That means:
Built right with the right slope and depth
Holds water and handles overflow
No shallow pools or leak issues
Built to suit stock access and vehicle use

We handle more than just digging. Our full service covers what you need to get the job done right:
- Site inspection and planning – We check soil, slope, access and storage needs
- Excavation and shaping – Proper cuts with depth, angle and compaction in mind
- Cleanouts and repairs – Remove reeds, sludge and repair dam walls
- Overflow and drainage – Spillways and channels shaped to prevent washouts

FAQs About Rural Dam Construction, Repairs & Cleanouts
What types of rural dams do you build?
We build all sorts of dams for rural properties — from stock watering dams and fire protection to general water storage. Every dam is shaped to suit the land, with the right depth, slope, and spillway to handle runoff and hold water year-round. Whether it’s a new dig or reshaping an old one, we get it sorted.
Do you inspect the site before quoting a dam job?
Yes. We always carry out an in-person site inspection before quoting. This lets us check the lay of the land, soil type, site access and other key factors. That way we can give you an accurate, fair quote with no surprises.
How much does it cost to build or clean out a dam?
The cost depends on things like how deep the dam needs to be, how much material we’re shifting, and what kind of access we’ve got. A cleanout will generally cost less than a new build. Once we’ve seen the site, we’ll give you a fixed-price quote so you know exactly what’s involved.
Can you clean out an old dam that’s filled with reeds or silt?
Absolutely. We specialise in clearing out dams that have filled up with muck over time. We remove reeds, sludge, and any built-up material so your dam can hold more water and work like it should again. A proper cleanout can make a big difference.
Do you repair leaking or damaged dams?
Yes, we do dam repairs including sealing leaks, reinforcing or reshaping walls, and fixing erosion problems. We can also re-cut and re-compact the dam edges and base if it’s been worn out over time.
How long does it take to build or restore a dam?
Most dam jobs take anywhere from one to five days depending on the size, soil conditions and weather. We’ll let you know up front how long the work will take once we’ve looked at your property.
Will you include overflow and drainage in the design?
Yes. Every dam we build or fix includes proper drainage and overflow planning. We can cut a spillway or shape the land so excess water runs off safely without washing out the dam wall or flooding nearby paddocks.
Where in NSW do you offer dam construction and cleanout services?
We work across the Hawkesbury, Blue Mountains, Lithgow, Singleton, Marulan and surrounding rural areas. If the job’s big and the land is bush or open paddock, we’re likely already working in your area.
Do you bring your own machinery?
Yes. We bring in our own excavators, dozer, and tipper so we can get stuck in without delay. No waiting on hire gear. Just proper rural dam work, done with the right tools and years of hands-on experience.
