The Importance of Retention Ponds in Florida
In order for a retention pond to operate as efficiently as possible, any vegetation should be maintained at a height that allows for inspection for things like nuisance animal burrows, developing sinkholes, and wetness along the fill embankments. One of the most common mistakes in the upkeep of retention ponds is not mowing critical areas because they are at a steep angle, or neglecting to mow altogether. Maintenance is vital for a properly functioning retention pond.
