Lake and Pond Dredging

Improve Your Pond Water Quality With Dredging

Over time, your lake or pond can accumulate sediment that decreases your water quality. The body of water becomes shallower, and the nutrient-rich sediment encourages nuisance algae blooms as it consumes oxygen that fish need.

With lake and pond dredging from SES Stormwater Erosion Specialties, the body of water on your residential or commercial property can be rejuvenated. We'll remove the unwanted sediment, and that limits nutrient movement from deepwater areas into the upper waters — and that limits the growth of unwanted aquatic plants.

Removing sediment from a lake or pond provides other benefits, as well.

• Improved navigation for boating
• Restored recreational access for swimming
• Improved fish habitats
• Regained storage capacity for water supply reservoirs

If your pond or lake is being choked by unwanted aquatic plants growing in shallow water, call SES Stormwater Erosion Specialties. We're the only company in the area that's fully equipped for mechanical and hydraulic dredging for small and large jobs.
