Otto’S Dirt Service

Our owner Mike Otto is an expert in helping you plan your private lake project from the very beginning, in the actual construction and/or renovation of your lake or pond, and in its proper maintenance and ongoing management.

Established in 1979, Otto’s Dirt Service features an experienced construction team and utilizes all types of earth-moving equipment. The crews can do virtually everything associated with the creation or renovation of private lakes and ponds, including:

​

Digging new ponds and lakes

Building dams and emergency spillways

Installing pipe,

Creating shore lines & duck paddies,

Constructing fish structures,

Making roads and water crossings,

Repairing erosion damage and leaks

Cleaning out or renovating existing lakes and ponds, and much more

Once construction is complete and the water is in place, Mike can also offer assistance and advice through his consulting company H2Otto Consulting and his close association with well-known marine biologist Bob Lusk.
