Sometimes sediment can remain just below the water surface and limit the ability to navigate or fish. Generally speaking the problem has become so evident that the sediment is substantial once you notice it.
Many pond owners ask whether they should dredge their pond to remove the muck. Most often dredging is the last and most effective method implemented for restoring a pond that has filled with sediment. There are various methods for dredging to reduce the cost and impact as well. Dredging is a solution for removing all types of muck and silt from a pond.
Again, there are limitations and the primary limitation being that inorganic soil particles will not be removed with this technology. Aeration systems that utilize diffused air, bubbles, fountains, and pumps are another solution to help active bacteria within the pond naturally decompose organic debris. Pond muck remover is not effective on inorganic sediment such as dirt, which is often a majority of the silt in the pond. They are designed to help decompose organic debris such as leaves or other vegetation but are dependent on several factors (oxygen, aeration, nutrients) and are limited in effectiveness. Pond muck removers and reducers can be purchased in pellet, block, or liquid form.
However, once a pond is full of muck and silt there are limited options for muck removal. Pond maintenance and pond cleaning, including dredging, is not a project that many of our clients planned to do when they bought or built their pond.
