The most popular home improvement that is being carried out from homeowners in Hill County, Texas at the moment is the addition of a beautiful pond to their backyard. 

And if I don’t say so myself what a fantastic addition it is. Not only is it a magnet for nature but it also provides a little oasis for you and your family to relax away from the stresses of the day or acts as a centerpiece for those all-important neighborhood BBQs.

Now unless you are an experienced pond builder then constructing one in your back garden might be a little beyond your DIY skillset but fear not today, we will walk you through the steps to find a good local pond builder. 

Finding local companies

Now for me it is personal preference to keep my business local so when searching for a contractor of any kind I always add the location as I prefer to work with local businesses. So, when beginning my search for a local pond builder I would search for “Pond Construction, Hill County, Texas” now it is very important you search for “Pond Construction, Hill County, Texas” and not just “pond construction”.

By searching for “Pond Construction, Hill County, Texas” you are instructing your computer to keep the results within the area of Hill County. Texas which means it will only show you local contractors. 

Again, as I mentioned earlier it is personal preference for me to work with local contractors as I like to do my bit for the community, I live in. If you would like to expand your search, then that is entirely your call. 

Reputation

So, your “Pond Construction, Hill County, Texas” will have returned lots of local bond builder’s details and now it is time to reduce that number to around 3 choices. The easiest way to do this is to go off their local reputation. 

By keeping the search local there is a high chance that a friend or family member has used one of them before and if it is a small local community then there is a definite chance that someone will know one of them or will have worked with them before. 

The idea here is to gather as much information about them as possible and no one will be able to do that better than someone who has already had them build them a pond at their property and in addition to that you can also go and see the work they have done in person. People love to show off their ponds and with you being on the lookout for a good pond builder any self-respecting neighbor will jump at the chance to show you their pond and recommend their contractor to you. 

Have an idea and stick to it

Ok so you have an idea of what you want pond wise and your just about to call the contractor and ask them to come and visit the property. 

Wait there before you do this know what you want you would be amazed at how much of your and the contractors time can be wasted discussing ideas and plans. 

Before getting the contractor out to your property have an idea of what you want if possible, show them this by marking it on the ground with string or something additionally if you have pictures of designs you have seen that you liked then show this to them also. 

The goal here is to give them as much information as possible so they can begin to envision the same idea that you have. 

Now there may be some things that you imagined that will not be possible and this is fine any professional pond builder will work with you and if something can’t be done, they will explain why and offer a compromise at the end of the day they want to do a great job for you and the closer they can get to the perfect pond for you the better it is for everyone. 

Second opinions

As a rule of thumb, I never settle on the first quote I am given unless it is a contractor I have used in the past. I will normally receive a quote from around 3 different contractors and compare cost and length of time it will take to complete it. 

The length of time is something many people overlook and as I work from home most days it is a crucial one for me as I cannot be taking calls with construction noises in the background.
