How should I dredge my lake?
January 14, 2022
Many landscapers, contractors, operators, and property owners have only seen standard grading equipment moving dirt on a project or on the side of the road. Many machine operators and contractors only have equipment designed for moving dirt and grading. Dredging is different and there is a variety of specialized equipment specifically designed to get silt, sand, or muck out of a pond, lake, or lagoon. Long reach excavators are one machine designed to reach 2 to 3 times further than regular excavators. Hydraulic dredges are barges that float on water to enable them to vacuum up silt from the bottom of a lake. They come in all sizes and may be the best solution for your project.
