Pond Dredging Services for the St. Louis area.
Ponds grace the property of most subdivisions and golf courses today in St. Louis. Sometimes, however, they become filled with sludge and silt, which detracts from their function and esthetic appeal. Aqua – Marine Inc. has a long-term solution to fix this problem and restore the pond to a healthy condition. Contact us at 636-230-FISH to learn how hydraulic dredging can facilitate pond sludge removal in your Missouri Pond or Lake.
Why You Need Pond Sediment Removal
Besides their esthetic appeal, ponds have an important role in neighborhoods and on golf courses. Retention ponds provide the vital function of controlling stormwater run-off in developments. We have been servicing the St. Louis area for 20+ years and have become a leader in pond maintenance and restoration. Call us today for a consultation.
When sediment is allowed to accumulate unchecked, a number of negative things can occur:
- Large amounts of sediment can lead to poor water quality.
- Excessive organic sediment promotes harmful algal blooms.
- Shallow water can lead to excessive weed growth.
- Low oxygen levels can harm fish and other aquatic life and can even lead to fish kills.
- High levels of sediment lead to reduced storage capacity for irrigation.
- Muck and unattractive ponds can reduce property values.

Not Sure if You Need Pond Dredging?
We offer standard bathymetric surveying of water bodies, which will show how much material has accumulated in your pond and will accurately estimate when and if dredging might be needed. If you then decide to move forward, we’ll deduct the cost of the survey from the cost of the dredging. Besides ponds, we can dredge other waterbodies including waste lagoons, lakes, marinas, and stormwater basins.
