FAQ

Common questions

What is a detention pond and why do sites need one?

A detention pond temporarily holds stormwater runoff and releases it slowly, so a developed site doesn't flood downstream neighbors or overwhelm storm drains. Most Central Texas commercial sites, subdivisions and larger developments are required to have detention as part of their drainage permit.

What's the difference between a detention and a retention pond?

A detention pond drains down to empty between storms and is dry most of the time, while a retention pond holds a permanent pool of water. We build and maintain both, choosing the right one based on your site's soils, drainage requirements and available space.

What areas do you cover for detention ponds?

We offer detention ponds throughout the Austin and San Antonio corridor, including San Antonio, Universal City, Schertz, Cibolo, Seguin, New Braunfels and 25+ more Central Texas communities. We know the local soil and climate in each one.
