Stormwater pond maintenance and lake management across state lines

Why hiring the best is a sound financial decision

Retention and detention ponds on commercial sites are working infrastructure, not just scenery. Each pond behind a store, shopping center or distribution center was built specifically to hold and release stormwater under a permit. This means local authorities can inspect it and require repairs when it falls out of compliance. Too often these ponds become an afterthought, and then the fine arrives.

A neglected pond is a liability. Over time it fills with sediment and vegetation, pushing water into parking lots, loading docks and nearby streets. That headache cuts into revenue, but the reconstruction project is what costs the most.

Dragonfly Pond Works is in the business of liability reduction. We take stormwater pond maintenance seriously, and our priority is compliance.

Multi-location brands face different compliance standards from market to market. Your properties in Orlando, Florida follow a different set of rules than stores in Raleigh, North Carolina. The good news is that we know the rules and stay on top of changes in compliance.

We also adapt our services and scheduling to the climate where each of your ponds is located. In some states we deal with algae and aquatic weeds for most of the year, while in others we contend with freeze cycles and heavy spring runoff. No one can predict exactly what the weather will bring, but you can depend on Dragonfly Pond Works and our commitment to your success.

Brands that opt to hire standard landscaping companies for their pond maintenance often find out that this is a decision that causes more problems than it prevents. Proper pond maintenance takes more than a mower and a truck. The mowers used by landscaping companies tend to erode away at the banks of the pond over time, creating runoff and stability issues. As a full-service pond and lake maintenance company, we have the specialized equipment made to handle the services we offer.
