Crystal-Clear Ponds in Every SLC Neighborhood
Hard water, cottonwood fluff, and slope-shed silt are the big three challenges for Salt Lake City ponds. Our cleanout crews use pressurized evacuation systems that lift debris up Capitol Hill driveways without disturbing fragile masonry or landscaping.
We neutralize chloramines in refill water, replenish essential carbonates, and restart biofilters with custom bacteria blends. Every visit includes parameter logging so you can track clarity and nutrient trends through spring melt, summer inversion heat, and leaf-heavy fall weeks.
Downtown courtyards, Liberty Wells backyards, and Marmalade rooftop water features all receive white-glove protection including padded fish handling tanks and weatherproof cordons to keep urban pets and wildlife safe during service.

Local Reviews
ΓÇ£They pulled 180 gallons of sludge out of our Harvard/Yale koi pond and reset chemistry in a single afternoon. The fish never skipped a beat.
ΓÇ£Our downtown courtyard pond used to go green every July. Since Utah Water Gardens took over, the water stays clear even with the rooftop herb garden runoff.
Seasonal Cleaning Strategy

Cleaning FAQs for Salt Lake City
How often should Salt Lake City ponds be cleaned?
Most SLC ponds benefit from a spring deep clean and fall leaf cleanup. Shaded ponds under mature trees may need an additional midsummer visit to maintain clarity and oxygen levels.
Will a full cleanout hurt my fish?
No. We use oxygenated, temperature-matched holding tanks, sedate large koi when needed, and re-acclimate slowly with beneficial bacteria to protect the biofilter.
Do you service rooftop or courtyard ponds downtown?
Yes. We bring portable containment, spill protection, and quiet vacs sized for elevators to service high-rise terraces and interior courtyards.
