Lake and Pond Sediment Removal for Property Owners

Dredging Cost Forecast

How much does it cost to dredge a lake or pond?

Lake or pond dredging costs are based on cubic yards of sediment removed.  Aquatic South recommends budgeting between $25-$90 per cubic yard. Dredging costs can vary significantly based on:

·      Access to your lake or pond access

·      Sediment type(s) to be removed

·      Cubic volume of sediment

·      Equipment delivery

·      Setting up erosion control measures

·      Safety measures

·      Grading and clearing

·      Sediment disposal logistics

·      Job site clean-up

·      Permitting

Once we agree on how much volume of sediment needs to be removed, our team will provide you with the cost per cubic yard to dredge your pond or lake.

 

Calculating Cubic Volume

Aquatic South will analyze bathymetric or sediment depth survey to determine how much accumulation of sediment is at the bottom of your pond or lake. These sediment surveys are usually completed by your lake management professional or one of our partners.
