Our Services

Sadly, there are still many lakes and ponds that have suffered neglect or have simply been tested by the rigours of time.
We are experienced and adaptable enough to undertake the most challenging commission to restore a lake, pond or feature to former glory.

Work usually starts with the removal and clearance of trees and overgrowth. De-silting and excavation can often involve extending or reducing the water in size or sensitively reshaping.

Repairs to leaking dams and spillways can be undertaken, sometimes without the need for draining the water entirely by sheet piling and temporary dams. In some cases the pond or lake may require re-puddling with clay or the installation of a butyl liner to regain watertight integrity.

Bank erosion and re instatement is often a common problem when carrying out restoration works. PHB can offer a variety of solutions such as block and brick edge, timber pallistrade, oak board, stone filled gabions or rockwork. There are also a variety of organic solutions available with the advent of specially pre-formed matting and coir revetment systems.
