Ponds are a beautiful addition to any property—until they’re not. Over time, debris, algae, overgrown vegetation, and sediment buildup can turn a once-pristine pond into an eyesore or even a safety concern. That’s where 1 Young Man and a Tractor comes in.

We provide professional pond cleanup services across Acadiana, helping landowners, commercial property managers, and farmers restore and maintain their ponds with precision and care.

Why Pond Cleanup Matters

A neglected pond can create a range of issues, including:

  • Mosquito infestations
  • Reduced oxygen levels and poor water quality
  • Fish kills and unhealthy wildlife conditions
  • Overgrowth of invasive vegetation
  • Drainage and flooding problems

Whether you need a one-time cleanup or ongoing maintenance, our team brings the experience, equipment, and local expertise to get it done right.

  • Access Road Construction – Creating temporary or permanent access paths to allow maintenance or equipment access as needed.
