Stormwater Pond Vegetation Control Best Practices
Overgrown vegetation in a stormwater pond isn’t just unsightly — it can be a compliance and safety hazard.
Why Vegetation Management Matters
- Prevents blockages in inlets and outlets
- Protects structural integrity of embankments
- Supports inspection compliance
Recommended Practices
- Schedule seasonal mowing for banks and forebays.
- Remove invasive species before they become established.
- Keep a 10-foot clear zone around outlets and risers.
Our Approach

Pro Tip: Regulators often cite “vegetation impeding outlet function” — keeping it trimmed avoids costly violation notices.
