Searching for “Pond Maintenance Near Me”…
Is an easy way to find the closest company that can help with the needs of Retention ponds.
Florida has a wide range of weather conditions year-around, including a long rainy season that can bring 70+ inches of rain annually. Our retention ponds play an important role in the well-being of the state’s geography.
The primary purpose of a retention pond is to collect water runoff from surrounding higher elevation areas. They have become a common fixture around residential developments. Retention ponds are so effective that they are often required when building new structures, parking lots, and roads.
Retention ponds assist with the following:
- Retaining runoff before diverting it into waterways in a controlled manner. Water is released at similar rate to what exists in a natural body of water. The ability of retention ponds to hold high water volume reduces the load on stormwater management.
- Retention ponds also allow for pollutant removal from the water via settling and biological uptake.
In order for a retention pond to operate efficiently, vegetation should be maintained at a height that allows for inspection. Inspecting for things like nuisance animal burrows, developing sinkholes, and wetness along the 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. Therefore maintenance is vital for a properly functioning retention pond.
These ponds are one of the most popular means of managing stormwater in Florida and throughout the country.
