💧 Maximise your water storage – Pond De-silting

Over time, ponds naturally fill with silt, reducing their depth and limiting the amount of water they can hold. For irrigation, water management and habitat projects, that means less available water when you need it most.

FGS Pilcher's specialist pond desilting service restores your pond's original depth and storage capacity, helping improve water resilience while extending the life of your asset.
Using our specialist long-reach excavators, operated by experienced FGS Pilcher operators, we safely remove accumulated silt, reshape pond profiles and create a more effective water storage solution, all while considering the environmental value of the site.

Whether you're looking to increase irrigation reserves, improve water retention or enhance wetland habitats, our experienced operators and specialist machinery deliver practical, long-term solutions tailored to your site.

📞 Contact FGS Pilcher to discuss your pond desilting or water storage project.

🌿 Pond Desilting & Biodiversity Restoration 🌿

FGS Pilcher recently completed a lake restoration project for a vineyard client, involving the desilting of a heavily overgrown lake to improve biodiversity and create a healthier habitat for wildlife.
✔️ 2,000m³ of silt and vegetation removed
✔️ Purpose-built above-ground silt lagoon constructed
✔️ Carefully programmed ahead of bird nesting season
✔️ Water safely removed and discharged using low-pressure jetting by sister company FGS Organics

Working sensitively around environmental considerations, the project has helped restore the lake as a valuable natural feature within the vineyard landscape.

🍇 Project Focus: Utilities Trenching at Gusbourne Vineyard

Delivering infrastructure in sensitive, high-end environments requires precision, care and the right approach.

When Gusbourne Vineyard needed new electricity and water connections to support a new outdoor facility, protecting the landscape and visitor experience was essential.

Our team used specialist trenching equipment to install utilities quickly and efficiently, minimising surface disruption and preserving the vineyard’s natural beauty. The result? A fully serviced space ready for alfresco dining and events, completed to a high standard and with minimal impact.

A great example of how the right machinery and expertise can make all the difference.
