Works Overview

cooks_beach_lakes_subdivision_3.JPGThis project had differing requirements for each of the two constructed stormwater ponds.  Lake A required inlet structures be screened and that an open area of water be retained to facilitate recreational activities on the lake.  Lake B required a denser vegetation coverage.  In addition to this was the need to maintain unobstructed views across both lakes.

Wetland Solutions completed this project on time and within budget.

Works included:
  • Planting Plan
  • Plant supply (3990)
  • Planting
  • 12 months maintenance
