Pond, Lake, and Stormwater Management in Dallas-Fort Worth
Serving Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, Arlington, Frisco, McKinney, and communities across the Metroplex.
Metroplex Water Management for a Sprawling Urban Region
The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is the largest metropolitan area in Texas and one of the largest in the country. Decades of suburban growth across Tarrant, Dallas, Collin, Denton, and surrounding counties have produced thousands of retention ponds, detention basins, and regional stormwater facilities that need ongoing professional maintenance. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality regulates stormwater through TPDES permits, and local MS Four programs in Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, and dozens of other cities enforce their own post-construction stormwater management standards.
Our Dallas-Fort Worth team delivers pond, lake, and stormwater maintenance, stormwater facility inspections, corrective repairs, fountain and aeration service, including architectural fountains, bank stabilization, sediment removal, erosion repair, and aquatic weed management throughout the Metroplex. North Texas clay soils, extreme summer heat, and periodic drought-to-flood cycles create demanding conditions for water management infrastructure.
Reach out to Dragonfly Pond Works for a no-obligation site assessment on your Metroplex pond, lake, or stormwater facility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to some of the most frequently asked questions in the area. From local rules to algae, we've got you covered. If you have a different question, contact us.
Properties in the Metroplex fall under the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality TPDES permit program. Cities like Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, and Frisco operate their own MS Four programs with post-construction stormwater management ordinances. If your property has a permitted detention or retention system, you are responsible for maintaining it in accordance with the site plan conditions. Dragonfly Pond Works helps property owners stay compliant across multiple jurisdictions.
The Metroplex sits on expansive clay soils that shrink dramatically during dry periods and swell when wet. This movement can crack pond liners, shift outlet structures, and open seepage paths through embankments. Our team evaluates pond integrity during dry spells and recommends repairs before minor cracks become major structural problems.
Extended summer temperatures above 100 degrees combined with nutrient runoff create aggressive algae conditions across the Metroplex. Our treatment programs use a combination of targeted applications, aeration to circulate stagnant water, and nutrient management to address the root causes of algae growth rather than just treating symptoms.
Yes. We serve large master-planned developments across Collin, Denton, and Tarrant counties, where communities may have dozens of stormwater ponds with specific maintenance plan requirements. We coordinate with developers, community managers, and municipal inspectors to ensure every facility meets its site-specific obligations.
Yes. Erosion from stormwater discharge, surface runoff, and the shrink-swell cycle of North Texas clay is a common problem. Our team stabilizes embankments with rip rap, sox erosion control solutions, native plantings, and grading corrections designed for the local soil and drainage conditions at each site.
Canada geese, feral hogs, beavers, and nutria can all damage Metroplex stormwater ponds. Geese overload ponds with nutrients, hogs root along embankments, and beavers block outlet structures. Our crew monitors for wildlife issues during scheduled visits and coordinates appropriate control measures when damage is identified.
