Pond, Lake, and Stormwater Management in Winston-Salem and Greensboro
Serving Winston-Salem, Greensboro, High Point, Burlington, Kernersville, and communities across the Piedmont Triad.
Triad Water Management from an Experienced Local Team
The Piedmont Triad sits at the heart of North Carolina, where rolling clay hills, older suburban developments, and a growing number of new communities create a steady demand for professional pond and stormwater management. From large HOA retention ponds in Greensboro to aging commercial detention basins along the Interstate 40 corridor, water management infrastructure across the Triad needs regular attention.
Dragonfly Pond Works provides pond maintenance, stormwater BMP inspections and maintenance, compliance repairs, fountain and aeration service, shoreline stabilization, dredging, and erosion control for property managers, HOA boards, municipalities, and commercial properties throughout Guilford, Forsyth, Davidson, Randolph, and surrounding counties. Our crews know the local soils, seasonal patterns, and regulatory landscape that affect every project in the region.
Contact Dragonfly Pond Works for a site assessment on your Triad-area pond, lake, or stormwater system.

Winston-Salem and Greensboro Coverage Area
Our Triad branch covers Guilford, Forsyth, Davidson, Randolph, Alamance, Rockingham, and adjacent counties. The region has experienced steady residential growth over the past 2 decades, adding thousands of stormwater ponds that must be maintained under North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality permit requirements. Local stormwater programs in Greensboro and Winston-Salem enforce their own inspection standards on top of state rules. Our team helps property owners and managers navigate both layers and keep their water management systems in working order. We serve the following communities:

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to some of the most frequently asked questions in the area. From local rules to algae, we've got you covered. If you have a different question, contact us.
Yes. If the pond is a permitted Stormwater Control Measure under North Carolina rules, the property owner is legally responsible for keeping it in working condition. Both Greensboro and Winston-Salem operate local stormwater programs that track compliance and can issue notices when maintenance falls behind. Dragonfly Pond Works manages these obligations on behalf of HOAs and property managers throughout the Triad.
Piedmont clay soils are highly erosive, and stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces accelerates bank loss around ponds. Over time, slopes collapse into the water, reducing pond capacity and exposing infrastructure. Our shoreline restoration crews use rip rap, coir fiber logs, geotube solutions, and native plantings to stabilize banks and stop further loss.
We start with a water quality assessment to identify nutrient sources and algae species. Treatment plans may include targeted aquatic herbicide applications, nutrient binding agents, aeration to increase water circulation, and buffer plantings to reduce fertilizer runoff from adjacent lawns. Each plan is built around the specific conditions of the pond.
Yes. We inspect ponds, bioretention cells, sand filters, level spreaders, and other Best Management Practices. Our reports document the condition of each component, note any deficiencies, and provide maintenance recommendations that satisfy both state and local inspection requirements.
In most cases, yes. Low-impact hydraulic dredging allows us to remove accumulated sediment while the pond stays full. This approach causes less disruption to the surrounding landscape and is often the most practical option for HOA ponds in established neighborhoods across the Triad.
Muskrats, beavers, and Canada geese are the most common wildlife issues. Muskrats and beavers tunnel into dam embankments, which can cause structural failure. Geese contribute excess nutrients that drive algae blooms. Our team monitors for wildlife damage during routine visits and coordinates humane control measures when needed.
