Partner with a Leading Pond Builder in Central Illinois

Building a pond involves more than digging a hole — the right location, water retention, drainage, and overflow all have to work together. At Wiegand Land Solutions, LLC we handle every stage for property owners in Trivoli, Peoria, and the surrounding areas, so you end up with a pond that’s functional, durable, and beautiful.

I've used them on properties I've sold before but this was first time on my land. They did a fantastic job on clearing my place on the lake. They were even able to reach over and get stuff on the bank. Very fast, very thorough. I recommend them to all my clients and friends.

Wiegand Land Solutions was a pleasure to work with doing some clearing on my property. They responded quickly. They listened to my needs. They were able to start promptly, and they were efficient in their work. They took great care in getting their equipment into where the work needed to be done without damaging other areas of the property. I was very pleased with the end result. I have seen some of their larger jobs also and I would highly recommend them for any of your land management projects.

Albie Weigand did a fantastic job back filling an old fish pond in my backyard and taking out old railroad ties. He hauled away all of the debris and did very minimal damage to my yard.
