Founder
Joseph Rossini brings over six decades of excavation and heavy equipment expertise to every pond project. Growing up in a family construction business that started in 1963, he learned the fundamentals of earth-moving, grading, and site preparation on real New York job sites. In 1998, he founded Rossini Equipment Corp. in Monticello to provide contractors, landscapers, and property owners throughout Sullivan County with reliable equipment and the kind of field-tested knowledge that only comes from years behind the controls. Whether it's navigating rocky Hudson Valley terrain or understanding local drainage patterns, Joseph's experience ensures pond excavation projects are executed with precision, efficiency, and a commitment to doing it right the first time.
Pond excavation costs vary based on pond size, depth, soil conditions, and site accessibility. A small backyard pond (10x15 feet, 3-4 feet deep) typically ranges from $1,500 to $3,500, while larger farm or commercial ponds can cost $5,000 to $15,000 or more depending on excavation volume and site challenges like rock removal. We provide free, detailed estimates after evaluating your property, soil type, desired pond dimensions, and any obstacles requiring special equipment or techniques.
