Keep it Eco-Friendly

On this 17-acre ranch in Flower Mound, Texas, Complete Landsculpture constructed a stock pond to be used for irrigation and fishing. One of the major challenges, beyond the scope and size of the overall project, was keeping the pond eco-friendly for both of its functions.

Gene Freeman of Complete Landsculpture explained, "The stock pond has a natural aquatic bog filter system of gravel, and iris along the edge. The water is pulled for circulation by a submerged 3HP pump and fed uphill to run naturally back downstream. We also have 2 submersible aerators that rest on the bottom of the pond to infuse air to help turn the water over and keep water quality optimum."
