Have a pond bank that hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves? Are you at risk of legal action if your retention pond and/or detention pond is not brought back up to code? TBX Landworks uses equipment that can quickly clear overgrowth and debris from retention pond banks and detention ponds in Northeast Georgia.

While both retention ponds and detention ponds are made to hold water during heavy rainfall, they are not interchangeable. Retention ponds are considered wet ponds, and are expected to always have some water standing. Retention ponds are made to retain water, and may store the water for use during drier periods. Detention ponds, however, are considered dry ponds. Detention ponds should not be holding water most of the time, but rather aid in preventing flooding during heavy rainfall and will empty slowly.

Too much overgrowth in retention or detention ponds can prevent them from being able to hold the water they were designed for and can result in catastrophic failures and flooding. TBX Landworks specializes in clearing the brush and debris from detention ponds and retention ponds, and can develop an ongoing plan to keep the ponds up to code.
