Pond Dredging Services

Ponds grace the property of most subdivisions and golf courses today. Sometimes, however, they become filled with sludge and silt, which detracts from their function and esthetic appeal. Heartland Dredging has a long-term solution to fix this problem and restore the pond to a healthy condition.

Why You Need Pond Sediment Removal

Besides their esthetic appeal, ponds have an important role in neighborhoods and on golf courses. Retention ponds provide the vital function of controlling stormwater run-off in developments.

When sediment is allowed to accumulate unchecked, a number of negative things can occur:

  • Large amounts of sediment can lead to poor water quality.
  • Excessive organic sediment promotes harmful algal blooms.
  • Shallow water can lead to excessive weed growth.
  • Low oxygen levels can harm fish and other aquatic life and can even lead to fish kills.
  • High levels of sediment lead to reduced storage capacity for irrigation.
  • Muck and unattractive ponds can reduce property values.

Not Sure if You Need Pond Dredging?

We offer bathymetric surveying of waterbodies, which will show how much material has accumulated in your pond and will accurately estimate when and if dredging might be needed. If you then decide to move forward, we’ll deduct the cost of the survey from the cost of the dredging. Besides ponds, we can dredge other waterbodies including waste lagoons, lakes, marinas, and stormwater basins. Please check out our FAQ and About pages for more helpful information.
