PONDS and lakes, built RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.

 When we renovate ponds in Texas, our clients are often shocked by what (and how much) material comes out of the bottom of their pond. Even other excavation contractors who don't have the experience and specialty in existing pond renovation are often shocked by the massive volume of material, and often don't know how to handle or move the material, or prevent potential damage caused by its movement. 

As time goes on, sediment and organic matter (fish, plants, insects, etc) die and break down, sinking to the bottom of a body of water. As the years pass, this sediment mix builds up in the bottom of a pond or lake, making it shallow and causing it to grow excess vegetation and appear murky. Eventually the only answer to making your pond healthy, beautiful, and functional again is to drain it, de-water it, and remove as much of this sediment as possible before allowing it to fill again.   

Here's a look at what this freshly-removed material looks like, and an example of how it moves and flows....about like wet concrete, and nearly as heavy. Before removing this material we always have a plan for it and a route for it to flow safely. It's NOT just "more dirt" at the bottom of your pond!
