Excavator Mulching

These land owners are over 80 years old and have memories that they will never forget. Many of these memories include grandchildren and their children of their own enjoying fishing from this old pond on their property. As they aged, and the children and grandchildren moved on the poor old pond grew up in woody succession. This hid many of the memories that were made in the previous years. They were a little bit of work we were able to bring back this pond to its original glory and now allow great grandchildren access to make future memories for years to come.

In this particular property, the landowner had an old pond that was created over 40 years ago. This pond had provided much enjoyment for many years for the family however, as it happens, sometimes age and neglect allowed the pond to become overgrown with woody vegetation upon its levees. The use of a medium sized excavator and mulching head, allow us to clean up this pond so that the landowner can access this and enjoy the memories that were made for many years.

This project was a lot of fun. This particular location was an old duck hole that had a lot of woody vegetation such as Button Willows as well as Giant Cut Grass. We were able to mow and remove these undesirables to expose old duck hole once again.
