Mill Pond – Colchester
We restored a half-acre pond heavily affected by long-term vegetation growth and silt accumulation. Around 30 cubic metres of aquatic vegetation and approximately 50 tonnes of silt were removed to fully reset the water body. All material was managed on-site, reducing disposal costs and disruption. The result was a clean, functional pond restored for ongoing use and enjoyment.
East Ipswich Angling Club
We carried out a large-scale clearance across a nine-acre fishery suffering from dense reeds, lily pads, and rising silt levels. Over five days, our team removed around 120 tonnes of invasive vegetation and organic material using specialist digger boats. The work significantly improved fishable water areas and restored balance across the lakes. The site quickly recovered, with noticeable improvements in fish activity and water clarity.
Weed Clearance on Syndicate Lake
We completed targeted weed removal on a five-acre lake impacted by persistent aquatic vegetation growth. Using specialist machinery, we cleared dense weed areas to restore open water and improve overall usability. The project helped re-establish healthier water flow and improved site conditions. The lake was left in a far more manageable and balanced state for ongoing maintenance.
