An important component of managing or owning a property is making sure its stormwater is properly collected. The use of retention ponds can be a vital part of a healthy and efficient commercial property. However, retention ponds do require a certain level of maintenance and attention.

In fact, your Georgia city and/or county issues specific codes and requirements for retention ponds, and these ponds require compliance inspections on an annual basis. Non-compliance of these codes can lead to costly fines, sometimes in excess of $2,500 per day until codes are met. When it comes to your retention pond cleanup, repairs or maintenance trust the experts of Big South Land & Tree. We help HOA managers and commercial property owners with all of their retention/detention pond needs.

A retention pond is an artificial lake that helps control flooding issues, stormwater runoff and erosion. Most importantly, if your retention pond is destabilized or clogged with debris, it cannot do its job of protecting your commercial landscape. At Lanier Yardscapes, we have professionals who understand city codes surrounding retention ponds. We can perform a pond cleanup and propose necessary repairs so that you pass your next inspection.
