Lake & Dam Management

Is Your Lake or Dam In Need of Help?

Lakes & Dams are a valuable resource. They can add beauty to the landscape and can provide endless hours of recreation. To add to this, they create a habitat for many different species of native flora and fauna.

In order to keep these man-made environments healthy we sometimes need to give mother nature a helping hand, aeration of the water body can sometimes be all that is needed to help restore this balance

Water Quality

Water quality determines the health of your lake or Dam and the aquatic organisms living within it. Beneath the surface your lake or dam is a complex biological and physical community supporting everything from microscopic bacteria to fish and plants.

A lake or dams condition deteriorates when its bottom environment cannot support aquatic life. The bottom is where the most oxygen is consumed and the furthest

from the surface where it is replenished. Without adequate oxygen at the bottom, beneficial bacteria do not break down the organic waste. This results inn accumulation of sediment (muck) on the bottom. Simply put: without oxygen, a lake or dam cannot clean itself.

Aeration

So how do we fix this problem? Aeration is amongst one of the easiest ways to get Oxygen back to where it is needed. This can be achieved with a purpose designed Compressor style Aeration system. (Subsurface Aeration) or an Aerating Fountain for that more aesthetic look.

What Our Clients Have To Say

We are thrilled to have an “Aquascapes System” pond, designed to mimic nature, built by Pond Works as a focal point to our home. From my very first discussions with Mark I established that he was conscientious, down to earth, knowledgeable and friendly. We are extremely lucky to have a Pond Works pond in our entertaining area. We heartily recommend that you consider having a pond or water feature built by Pond Works.

Garth C

We are besotted with the pond and water feature, and have been out every night, even in last night’s rain, to have an unwind time. We have already had some interest from friends and neighbours who love it too. Many thanks for all the care and time you took to engineer this for us”

Darryl & Helen

Thank you to Mark and the team for providing a service that was second to none. We really appreciated being able to experience flawless reliability along with the high levels of creativity and attention to detail that were applied to our pond rebuild. Our requirements were always listened to and acknowledged, with the end result being an entertainment area that is now complemented by a stunning, professionally created pond that is not only enjoyed every day but is also amazingly easy to maintain.

Claire & Mike

We can’t thank the Pond Works team enough for most amazing pond and outdoor space which has transformed the way our daily home schooling lessons are done. I’d also like to thank Mark for providing the most amazing educational resources. I incorporated the Pond Activity Guide and Work Sheets into our lesson plans. Being able to watch the children learn and interact with nature at home has been such a blessing.
