Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a pond be desilted?
Most ponds need desilting every 5-10 years, depending on surrounding trees, runoff, and pond size. We assess silt levels during maintenance visits and advise on timing.
Can you repair a leaking pond or lake?
Yes. We locate leaks through systematic inspection of the dam, liner, inlet, and outlet, then carry out targeted repairs — whether that's relining, clay puddling, dam reinforcement, or sealing root penetrations.
What is pond reclamation?
Pond reclamation involves restoring ponds where land has slumped or silted up, including excavation, bank reshaping, and vegetation clearance to return the pond to full function and appearance.
Do you reline existing ponds?
Yes, we reline leaking ponds with butyl, clay, HDPE or natural clay puddling, depending on soil conditions and the pond's purpose.
Can you repair earth dams and embankments?
Yes, we repair and reinforce earth dams — reprofiling embankments, installing proper spillways, and addressing seepage for estate lakes across the South East.
