In these instances, two bags are placed along the shoreline. Hydraulic dredging also aids in efficiency due to the fact that dredged material can be immediately reused for shoreline restoration or graded into the landscape. The use of heavy machinery throughout this method can have a significant impact on the surrounding area due to the large footprint left. Heavy machinery then removes the material from the bottom of the body of water and stores it in a containment area where it is left to dry. When necessary, we will complete dredging to remove buildup, alter water depth, and correct slope changes.Ĭonventional dredging usually involves the lake or pond to be drained. Dragonfly Pond Works provides regular maintenance to keep your lake or pond healthy. This departure can lead to invasive species taking control of a lake or pond. Additionally, wildlife may move away from a shallow body of water to a healthier water source.

Enough build up will cause a lake or pond to become shallow which makes it vulnerable to flooding.

Another reason that dredging may be required is due to a buildup of material on the bottom. Over time, the slope may change and require dredging and/or shoreline restoration to again be compliant. Lakes and ponds have original designs that include permitted slopes and grades. There are several reasons dredging of a lake or pond may be required.
