Discover the practical and environmental advantages of installing a well-designed retention pond on your property. These features offer critical benefits during heavy rain events and contribute to long-term sustainability and regulatory compliance.
Retention ponds manage runoff during storms, preventing downstream flooding and stabilizing soil, especially in flood-prone areas like New Rochelle and Scarsdale.
These systems improve water quality by capturing debris, oils, and sediment before they reach the Hutchinson River or Long Island Sound.
Our naturalized ponds add beauty and function to your landscape, attracting birds and pollinators while meeting EPA and SPDES (New York’s NPDES-equivalent) stormwater standards.
We handle the permitting process and ensure all construction meets Westchester’s municipal requirements for stormwater management. This includes preparing Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP), filing Notices of Intent (NOI), and ensuring compliance with SPDES general permits.

FAQ
Do I need a permit to build a retention pond in Westchester County?
Yes. Most projects require a SPDES permit, a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), and local municipal approval before starting construction.
How long does it take to build a retention pond?
Most residential projects are completed in 1–2 weeks, while larger or commercial systems may take several weeks depending on site conditions and permitting timelines.
What’s the difference between a wet and dry retention pond?
Wet ponds retain water year-round, improving water quality and aesthetics. Dry basins temporarily hold runoff after storms and drain fully within 72 hours.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance plans?
Yes, we provide long-term maintenance programs that include inspections, vegetation control, sediment removal, and performance checks.
