A Beautiful Outdoor Space Again
A properly cleaned pond becomes the centerpiece of the yard.
When to Schedule a Pond Cleaning
Not sure if your pond needs cleaning? Here are the signs to watch for:
Common Signs You Need Cleaning
- ✓Water is cloudy, murky, or green
- ✓Algae is growing quickly or taking over
- ✓You see sludge building up on the bottom
- ✓Waterfall flow has slowed down
- ✓Filters clog faster than normal
- ✓Fish deaths or fish gasping
- ✓Strong odor
- ✓Seasonal debris build-up (spring/fall)
Seasonal Recommendations
Spring Cleaning
Reset your pond after winter die-off and debris accumulation. Spring cleaning reduces summer diseases and algae by removing built-up organic matter before the growing season.
Mid-Season Clean (Optional)
Keeps clarity high in hot months when algae peaks.
Fall Cleaning
Prepare for winter and prevent nutrient buildup that leads to spring algae blooms. Fall cleaning prevents winter damage by removing debris that can decompose under ice.
