Recreation Ponds & Farm Ponds
Use the dirt from a pond dig to build your track — two projects, one machine on site.
Explore Pond DiggingA track that rides well in July and doesn't turn into a mud pit in March takes more than pushing dirt into piles. We build practice tracks, backyard motocross loops, and ATV and UTV trail systems that drain, hold their shape, and stay rideable through the seasons.
The best tracks work with the ground, not against it. We walk your property and read the natural lines — where the high ground drains and where the slope gives you a natural tabletop. On the ridge lots and hollows common across southeast Ohio, the elevation changes that make mowing a headache are exactly what make a track fun to ride.
A jump that holds water in its face erodes from the inside out. We build jumps and berms with a compacted clay core and a crowned top that sheds water sideways, so the landing ramp doesn't pool at its base. Berms get a slight outward tilt so rain sheets across the surface into a swale behind the turn instead of into the turn itself.
We strip the topsoil first and set it aside. Topsoil is organic and spongy — leave it under your track and the surface will pump and rut the first time it gets wet. We strip down to the mineral clay that packs hard and holds shape, build up from there, then spread the saved topsoil back onto the surrounding ground.
A practice track is compact and built for repetition — short loops, a few feature sections you hit every lap, everything within sight of the truck. A trail network across acreage is more about routing: threading a wider route through timber, across draws, and around property lines with drainage that works across elevation changes.
Before we cut any track line, we locate and mark every wellhead, septic tank, and leach field on the property. A track too close to a septic field compacts the soil and can damage drain lines. We set back from everything underground, and we call 811 before digging so utilities get marked.
We build tracks and trail systems throughout the Mid-Ohio Valley, including Lowell and Athens. Check our full service area to see if we reach your property.
More Ways We Help

Explore Pond DiggingNeed a riding trail through the woods between track sections? We clear and grade private trails.
Explore Trail BuildingOpen up the ground first — we remove timber, brush, and stumps so the track line is clear.
Explore Land ClearingYes — that's most of the properties we work on. Slope gives you natural elevation changes for jumps and rhythm sections. We clear the line first, then cut the track into the hillside so it drains across the surface.
We build jumps with compacted clay cores and crowned tops so water sheets off instead of soaking in. A properly built face freezes and thaws without breaking apart because the water never sits in it.
A rideable loop with a couple of features fits on an acre or two; a larger track with multiple jump lines might want three to five.
