Designing and Managing
LAKES & FARM PONDS
Man-made lakes and farm ponds are constructed differently from typical backyard ecosystem ponds, requiring a specialized approach to keeping them beautiful and maintaining excellent water quality.
Lakes and farm ponds can be fantastic additions to parks (like Kiwanis Lake in downtown York), golf courses, HOA communities, and larger residential properties. With the right design and management plan, they can be maintained to look stunning all year round.
For generations, these ponds have played vital roles on farms and properties—providing water for crops and livestock, offering places to fish, swim, or boat, and helping manage stormwater and fire protection. Whether lined with clay or manufactured materials, they often lack the circulation and filtration systems found in smaller backyard ponds. Because they receive water from springs, runoff, and storms, caring for them requires thoughtful attention and expertise to keep the ecosystem healthy and thriving.
