By employing this simple and cost-effective 3-step program, you can reduce muck and sludge without hurting the environment or your wallet. It costs a fraction of what it would if you were to dredge your pond. Nature’s Pond powered by Koenders Water Solutions' Natural 3 Step Pond Care Program is the alternative to dredging that you are looking for. A Better and Non- Evasive Approach to Reducing Muck and Sludge Costs for the procedure include having the pond and land surveyed beforehand, equipment and labour costs of the excavation company, and landscaping services and materials to rebuild the land surrounding the pond.ĭredging a pond can easily become a project that costs thousands to tens of thousands of dollars since all of these expenditures will add up. The cost of dredging a pond can vary depending on the size of the pond. For example, a spring-fed pond could be impossible to dry out, preventing heavy equipment from operating or a pond located too close to houses, trees, powerlines, or other structures could be inaccessible for heavy equipment. For many reasons, dredging may not even be an option for some pond owners. And, if nothing is done to care for the pond after dredging it will continue to build up with muck and sludge, requiring another dredging procedure in the near future. Even once the landscape and water are restored it can take a long time before the ecosystem has fully recovered.
Runoff or rainfall restore the pond’s water, or it is manually pumped back in. Seeding new grass and shrubs can take a long time to establish and grow. The landscape surrounding the pond must be restored which can also be costly. Everything that is scraped away must be transported with a dump truck to be disposed of. After the dredging has been completed there is a significant amount of clean-up that must take place. The mounds of dead material are scraped away from the bottom and sides of the pond, destroying the entire ecosystem and much of the landscape surrounding its edges.
Next, heavy equipment is brought in to dig out the sediment layers of muck and sludge. Ideally, once the pond is drained out it is left to dry. The process of dredging a pond begins by removing all wildlife and draining the water from the pond.
