Water Detention Basin and Bio-Filter Upstream of Pre-existing Pond
This area had a steep slope into the shallow basin pictured, which was graded back to remove the grass and to create better access.
Upon shaping the banks, the basin was lightly dredged to expose subsurface water and deepen the pool for added habitat.
My mission was to slow & store the water in addition to filtering it before it entered a pond lower in the landscape.
