Stormwater pond compliance, per county regulations.

If your property has a stormwater pond, a dry basin, a bioretention bed or a grass swale, it was built to hold and filter the runoff from your roofs and parking lot, and per county regulations it has to be kept up. Over the years the pond fills with silt, the banks wash out, trees take root on the embankment and the pipes clog with leaves. We get the pond compliant, then keep it that way on a schedule. This work sits alongside our erosion control and environmental services, and for community properties, our HOA services.

Get compliant, then stay compliant: basins cleared, pipes dug out and repaired, bioretention weeded, banks mowed.

Silt and Sediment Dug Out

Silt settles in the forebay and the bottom of the pond every time it rains. We dig it out and haul it off, so the pond holds the water it was built to hold.

Eroded Banks Rebuilt

Washed-out banks and side slopes are regraded back to shape, then held with erosion control matting or seed and straw until the grass takes.

Pipes Dug Out and Repaired

Inlets, outfall pipes and risers that have silted in are dug out. Broken or separated pipe is repaired or replaced, and the ground around it put back.

Embankment Cleared

Trees and brush come off the embankment, where their roots can open a path for water through the fill. Brush is chipped on site or hauled away.

Stay compliant.

Banks Mowed

Banks and embankments mowed on a schedule, so they stay in grass, stay stable, and stay where you can see them.

Inlets and Outfalls Kept Clear

Leaves, trash and debris cleared off inlets, trash racks and outfall pipes, with extra trips through the fall when the leaves come down.

Bioretention and Swales Kept Up

Bioretention beds weeded and mulched, dead plants replaced, and grass swales mowed and cleared so the water moves the way it was meant to.

Invasive Plants Controlled

Phragmites and other invaders treated with aquatic-approved herbicide under our MDA Pesticide Business License. See phragmites control.

Certified for the work around the water.

Digging in a pond, regrading a bank and spraying at the water’s edge each fall under a different credential. We hold them ourselves, so the work does not wait on a subcontractor.

For the record, so you can check it: MHIC #105982, licensed contractor in Maryland, Delaware and Virginia. MDE Erosion and Sediment Control Yellow Card, Responsible Personnel certification. DNREC Contractor Training Program Blue Card, Delaware. MDA Pesticide Business License #27327, which covers aquatic-approved herbicide at the pond edge.

Who has a stormwater pond.

Commercial properties. Shopping centers, offices, warehouses and medical buildings put in ponds and basins when they were built, to handle the runoff from the roof and the lot. The pond stays with the property through every change of tenant.

HOAs and communities. Neighborhood ponds, swales and bioretention beds are usually common area, kept up by the association. We work them into the same schedule as the rest of the grounds. See HOA services.

Churches and schools. A new parking lot or addition often came with a pond or a rain garden. See church grounds maintenance.

Farms and estates. A new barn, shop or house can carry a stormwater requirement of its own. We fold the pond into farm maintenance and estate maintenance visits.

Bank-owned and vacant properties. A pond left alone between owners fills in and grows over fast. We bring it back and keep it up until the sale. See bank-owned properties.
