Having recently acquired a beautiful piece of land with a pond, our client wanted to “clean it up” for his families enjoyment. This included creating a deeper swimming area free of debris and place for for a future dock, cleaning up the outflow and installing a new corrugated pipe, and re-defining the shoreline as well as dredging roughly 1,200 cubic yards of accumulated sediment in different areas of the pond.

Using a contoured depth map to plan for the swimming area excavation and future dock site

Starting up the temporary siphons to expose the shorelines for cleaning aa

Getting started on the far side inlet where most of the sediment accumulation has occurred- as is the case with most aquatic environments

The “overflow” for the pond crossed the path back to the rest of the property, so it was time to raise it up out of the muck and build dry access to the woods!

Setting the overflow pipe. Ready to be backfilled and compacted to keep the access road dry going to the rest of the property

A nice, clean shoreline free of aquatic vegetation!

Two inlets dredged and another shoreline cleaned and defined!

Pond is dredged, swimming area dug, final grade complete- almost done!

This pond restoration turned out beautifully. Hydro- seeding done and ready to fill back up!
