Why Property Owners Should Be Concerned About Stormwater Retention

Large amounts of rain can cause a lot of problems for property owners. Out-of-control stormwater can lead to long-term erosion, flash floods, and other serious problems. Large commercial properties often have large concrete parking areas. These wide open, flat spaces can have a massive impact on flooding and soil depletion and, therefore, must be controlled. In most cities, there are laws in place regarding the management of water runoff and the establishment of retention ponds. Neglecting to have a plan in place can result in massive fines and failure to comply with local code inspections. There’s no need to put your business at risk because our team can assist with your stormwater and retention pond management needs. 

When is a Pond Needed for Stormwater Retention 

Retention ponds are constructed pools of water that are designed to capture water runoff during rainstorms. Some homeowners will build a retention pond if they have a large yard in a flood-prone area. Small properties might not require a retention pond. A reliable gutter system on the roof that feeds into the public street’s drainage system will suffice. However, larger properties will often require a retention pond due to the volume of square feet. Car dealerships, shopping malls, large retail strips, apartment complexes, and office buildings with substantial parking areas are just a few of the most common examples of properties that will need to create a retention pond.

Maintenance Tips for Retention Pond Management 

Retention ponds require a great deal of maintenance. Stagnant water that is full of fast food debris and engine oil can quickly develop into a cesspool that negatively impacts the local environment. Even ponds that are normally well cared for can become overwhelmed by algae and other complex issues when water levels are low. Installing native plants in certain areas of the retention pond can improve the health of your pond and prevent unsafe conditions. Providing natural grass and plants can also transform your utilitarian retention pond into an attractive addition to your landscape. Our professional technicians offer a variety of services that can help you take proper care of your retention pond for the best long-term results.

I was very impressed with how quickly and professionally they worked. They were in and out in an afternoon. They had to remove a giant Red Oak, and did so with great skill and speed. Their price is very affordable and beats out most of the competition around. I highly recommend Driscoll Tree Service. We will use them again for all of our future tree removal needs! Seriously, give them a call. They are awesome!

Efficient, Affordable, and Professional what more can you ask for in a company. I had a big tree in my yard that needed to be cut down. From the estimate from Michael and the actual job being performed by his crew, everything was satisfactory. Including the clean-up. They’re also licensed and insured so that made selecting for the job even more comfortable. I highly recommend Driscoll Tree Service for your tree removal.

I had a large oak tree taken down near power lines and an outdoor kitchen. I was well informed about the work they were going to do and how long it should take. The team was professional, fast and dropped the tree safely. They used a bucket truck and climber to trim branches from the top half of the tree with no damage to the yard around the tree.  I am extremely pleased with Driscoll Tree service work.

We called to have two large pine trees removed since they were in the way of where we needed to put our fence. We are slackers and always wait until the last minute to do anything so of course, we tried to find someone that could take these out quickly as we needed it done ASAP. These guys came out the same day I called and were able to get them out the next day. I was so impressed by how nice and professional they are, it’s nearly impossible to get anyone to come out and/or follow up with anything so it was extremely refreshing that they did both without me having to call and ask what the hold up was. I will forever use this company for future needs. Thank you again!!

The service for Driscoll Tree Service was outstanding. Michael came out to meet with me, explained the pros and cons of how to deal with my tree removal, and provided a clear quote for the service. The crew that came out to do the work was on-time, professional and did a great job. One of the trees they had to remove was tall and in a spot where they couldn't get any heavy equipment to it, but they were able to take it down in pieces without damaging my landscaping or fence. If you are looking for a professional and competent tree service,  I definitely recommend calling Driscoll Tree Service.
