Aiding Mother Nature

Stream Bank Restoration aims to restore the natural state and functioning of the river system in support of biodiversity, recreation, flood management, and landscape development.

Improved health may be indicated by expanded habitat for diverse species (e.g., fish, aquatic insects, other wildlife) and reduced stream bank erosion. Enhancements may also include improved water quality (i.e., reduction of pollutant levels and increased dissolved oxygen levels) and achieving a self-sustaining, functional flow regime in the stream system that does not require periodic human intervention, such as dredging or construction of flood control structures. Stream restoration projects can also yield increased property values in adjacent areas.

Remove Bottom Sediments From Your Pond

Every pond is in a dying process the moment it is created. Leaves, weeds, algae, and other organic matter travel to the bottom of the pond, taking the form of MUCK. This gradually fills in the pond and is the direct cause of the many problems that pond owners have. MUCK contains toxic gases and harbors nutrients that cause excessive weed and algae problems, which deteriorate the ecosystem of a pond. Now there is a unique, efficient, and economical way of removing the MUCK and pond scum and restoring new life to your pond. Let’s compare the old solution with the new solution, and you decide which is the better approach.

Mechanical dredging is most effective when the pond has been completely drained and the bottom sediments have had time to dry.

Building Demolition

We are able to quickly and safely demolish and dispose of any size or type of building, whether big or small, and regardless of composition, including brick, block, wood, or steel.

Clean and Contain

A sediment control is a practice or device designed to keep eroded soil on a construction site, so that it does not wash off and cause water pollution to a nearby stream, river, lake, or sea. Sediment controls are usually employed together with erosion controls, which are designed to prevent or minimize erosion and thus reduce the need for sediment controls. Sediment controls are generally designed to be temporary measures, however, some can be used for storm water management purposes.
