Pond Clean Out, Widening, and Excavation Project in Albion, Orleans County, New York
Project Overview
A homeowner in Albion, New York (Orleans County) reached out to us looking for pond cleanout and excavation services. They had an old cow pond on their property that had become overgrown with cattails, grass, and vegetation. The pond had lost its depth and size over the years, and the goal was to clean it out, make it wider and deeper, and restore it into a usable and attractive water feature.
Here is the Existing Condition of the Property:

Pond Cleanout and Excavation
The first step was removing all cattails, tall grass, and heavy vegetation from around the pond walls. Clearing the growth made it easier to work and gave the pond a fresh, open look.

We also took down a tree that was crowding the pond area and contributing to overgrowth. This helped open up the space and reduce future debris.

We then excavated the pond to make it both deeper and wider. This ensured better water capacity, healthier circulation, and long-term stability for the pond.

Project Insights
Cleaning and widening a pond does more than just improve its appearance. It restores the pond structure, prevents overgrowth from taking over, and gives the homeowner back a functional and healthy pond. For this Albion property, the pond is now deeper, more spacious, and much easier to maintain moving forward.
If you’ve got a pond that’s filled in with weeds or getting dirty, a pond cleanout and excavation is a great investment. This project in Albion is a perfect example of how much of a difference it makes to restore and expand an old pond.
We also want to mention that if you’re considering this type of project, you may also benefit our from services like drainage installation (for example, tying your downspouts into the pond), land clearing if you want to expand the area around your pond, or even a gravel, crushed stone or asphalt driveway if you’d like proper access to your recreational pond. We’ve also done similar projects, like a Pond excavation and cleanout in Byron, New York, where we handled excavation and clearing to give the property owner a refreshed pond.
