Why choose Affordable Pond Cleaning?

We utilize commercial divers and a series of large pumps to remove the organic sediment, muck, sludge, leaves and aquatic vegetation restoring your body of water back to its natural bottom.

Elimination of traditional processing steps

  • Draining the water is not needed (which destroys the aquatic life). With our method we use a series of suction pumps, so we are able to suck out the muck & organic matter.

  • We are very non invasive to surrounding landscapes. We are able to back a 6”pump with our truck to the water and run up to 800’ of discharge pipe to move the sediments to desired location, typically somewhere on property.

  • No need to stress about repairs to the surrounding landscape due to the use of larger, heavier equipment.

Elimination of third-party expenses

  • Often permits are not needed for our method of removal and restoration.

  • Mechanical dredging disturbs the hardpan soil which requires expensive permits. We focus on removing “soft” material. A good reference is if you sink into while standing, that’s what we can remove. We stop at the hardpan/natural bottom.

  • We are typically non-invasive to wildlife and do not cause fish kills.
