What are the benefits of dredging a pond?

Over the years most ponds will become clogged with a build up of sediment. This increase in organic matter typically leads to an acceleration in the growth of aquatic plants which then leads to more organic matter and so the vicious circle is complete.

A further issue is that can affect the aquatic life is that a decrease in water surface area and an increase in decaying matter can have catastrophic consequences by decreasing oxygen levels in hot weather and putting all fish at risk.

After dredging a pond the increased capacity of the pond can be vital for flood prevention or can be beneficial for irrigation purposes.
Apart from everything else, a properly maintained pond looks much better and is better for wildlife so the overall benefits are manifold.

FAQ’s about our Dredging Services
