What Our Customers Say
Our Lake Construction Process
From expertly designing and constructing to completing and managing your lake, the team at Essex Aquatics support you every step of the way. All of our projects at Essex Aquatics are expertly designed, constructed, and managed.
During your consultation, we can work with you to develop a plan towards planting aquatic plants and terrestrial planting, including trees, shrubs and grassland areas. Depending on your requirements, we also offer clay-lined ponds or specialist geotextiles and lake liners.
During the design stage, our team’s creativity and knowledge will ensure your lake construction project is designed and customised to visually enhance your landscape and benefit local wildlife.
After completing your project, we can support you with ongoing lake maintenance if required.
Lake Dredging
Lake dredging is different from standard pond cleaning but achieves the same results. Over time, leaves and debris build up in lakes, leading to issues such as murky water, weed and algal blooms, lack of oxygen, decreased water depth and potential fish deaths.
Our lake dredging process follows five simple steps:
- Site visit to assess the lake condition and plan for water drainage.
- Temporary relocation of any fish, wildlife, and plants to a safe pool.
- Using our expertise and equipment, we dredge the silt from the lake with an appropriately sized excavator.
- Whilst the lake is drained, we trim trees and control vegetation to prevent future debris.
- After dredging is complete, the lake refills naturally, and we safely return the aquatic life.
