Our Pond Management Services

Retention Pond Vegetation Repair

A healthy stormwater pond should meet local regulations, effectively treat runoff and support the surrounding environment. Achieving that requires proactive care from experienced AQUALIS professionals who understand both local conditions and long-term system performance. 

AQUALIS provides reliable pond maintenance services designed to restore function, prevent deterioration and extend the life of your stormwater assets. Our regional crews handle everything from structural repairs and vegetation management to full pond restoration. With a focus on compliance, safety and performance, we help protect your property value while ensuring your pond operates as intended.

pond dredging

Over time, stormwater ponds naturally accumulate sediment, debris and organic matter that reduce storage capacity and treatment efficiency. Left unaddressed, this buildup can lead to flooding, water quality issues and downstream pollution.

Pond dredging is one of the most effective solutions for restoring your pond’s original depth and functionality. As a leading pond management company, AQUALIS delivers efficient, high-quality dredging services using advanced equipment and proven techniques. Our team removes accumulated sediment with minimal disruption, improving water flow, enhancing treatment capabilities and helping prevent future erosion and compliance issues.

dry detention pond

Detention ponds are designed to temporarily store and slowly release stormwater runoff, helping to prevent flooding and reduce strain on drainage systems. Without regular upkeep, these systems can lose efficiency and become safety hazards.

AQUALIS delivers comprehensive detention pond maintenance services to keep your system functioning at peak performance. Our pond management experts inspect, maintain and repair key components to ensure proper water flow, structural integrity and regulatory compliance. From routine upkeep to targeted repairs, we help protect your property while maintaining a clean and professional appearance.

Retention ponds, also known as wet detention basins, are essential for managing both stormwater quantity and water quality. These systems hold a permanent pool of water, allowing sediments and pollutants to settle while accommodating excess rainfall during storm events.

AQUALIS specializes in retention pond management, providing ongoing maintenance to ensure your system continues to perform effectively. We can handle inspections, vegetation control, debris removal and structural upkeep to support proper water storage and treatment. With consistent care, we help retention ponds remain compliant, functional and visually appealing for commercial and residential properties alike.

Erosion can compromise the stability of your stormwater pond, degrade water quality and create safety risks across your property. If left untreated, it can lead to costly structural damage and regulatory concerns.


AQUALIS offers expert pond erosion control services to identify, address and prevent erosion at its source. Our team of professionals assess site conditions and implement environmentally responsible solutions such as shoreline stabilization, grading and vegetation strategies. With effective pond erosion control, we protect your infrastructure, improve system performance and preserve the surrounding environment.

Similarly, the vegetation in and around the pond must also be managed. Signs your pond may need more than maintenance include visible structural damage, recurring drainage problems, compliance violations or erosion issues.
