Dredging & Sediment Removal Built for Stormwater Compliance

Sediment build-up does not just reduce depth. It can lead to cloudy water, algae growth, flooding concerns, and stormwater compliance risk. If you're wondering “Are we still meeting requirements?” or “How bad is the buildup?” you are not alone, and you do not have to guess.

For over five decades, AllWater has helped HOAs, municipalities, golf courses, and commercial properties take a proactive, expert-led approach to dredging. Our work restores storage capacity, protects infrastructure, and helps keep stormwater systems inspection-ready and compliant.

Our biologic-led team builds the right plan for your site, whether mechanical or hydraulic, based on your compliance needs, budget, and timeline, while minimizing disruption for residents, guests, and daily operations.

What Our Dredging Process Can Support:

  • Depth & sediment assessments to confirm volumes and scope
  • Method planning & access logistics for small ponds to multi-acre lakes
  • Dewatering & disposal (e.g., geotextile tubes) with clear documentation
  • Site restoration & compliance reporting to satisfy HOAs and municipalities

Not Sure where to Start? Get Answers From The Experts.

Managing a pond, lake, or stormwater system means staying ahead of maintenance, regulations, and seasonal changes, often without a clear roadmap. AllWater's free webinars give property managers, CDD managers, and aquatic professionals a no-cost way to get expert guidance on the issues that matter most to your water resources.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my pond actually needs dredging?

The most common signs are a pond that's visibly shallower than it used to be, persistent water quality issues despite regular treatments, recurring algae and vegetation problems, or a compliance notice from a regulatory agency.

A bathymetry survey gives you the definitive answer — it maps exactly how much sediment you have and whether you're approaching the 20% capacity loss threshold that triggers violations.

What is a bathymetry survey and what does it cost?

A bathymetry survey uses hydroacoustic sonar technology to map sediment volume and distribution across your entire water body.

It's far more accurate than manual probing and gives you the documentation regulators expect. The cost is $1,500–$2,500 and is credited toward your project if you move forward.

Will dredging disrupt my property or operations?

No. Hydraulic dredging is a low-impact process — your pond does not need to be drained, and your property stays in use throughout the project.

Equipment fits tight spaces and pipelines can cross roads, meaning most commercial, golf course, and residential properties experience minimal disruption.

How long does a dredging project take?

Most projects are completed in days or weeks, not months. Production rates average approximately 1,400 cubic yards per week per unit. Timeline varies based on project size, sediment volume, and site access.

What happens to the sediment once it's removed?

Sediment is pumped through pipelines into dewatering bags on-site. Once compacted, the material can be reused for landscaping, berms, or fill on your property, or hauled off-site for disposal — whichever works best for your site and budget.

What does dredging cost?

Projects typically run approximately $50 per cubic yard, though cost varies based on project size, site access, and disposal method. We offer a free preliminary proposal so you can get initial budgeting and scope before committing to a bathymetry survey.

What sets AllWater apart from other dredging companies in Florida?

We bring 50+ years of aquatic management experience, engineering-driven project planning, and in-house compliance support under one team.

Every project starts with precision bathymetric mapping, closes with post-dredge verification, and is backed by local knowledge of Florida state and local regulatory requirements.
