What our pond cleaning service includes

Routine maintenance visits

Scheduled visits to skim debris, check the water, clean skimmer baskets and keep the pond looking the way it did the day we finished it.

Seasonal clean outs

The full reset: drain the pond, remove muck and leaf litter, cut back and divide plants, rinse the rock, then refill and restart the system. We recommend one every 1-2 years.

Algae control

Green water and string algae usually mean the pond is out of balance. We clear the algae and fix the cause — circulation, shade, plant load or filtration — so it stays clear.

Pond filter maintenance

Filter cleaning and media replacement on biological, mechanical and UV filters, so the filtration keeps up with your fish.

Pond pump service

Pump cleaning, impeller checks, flow testing and replacement when a pump is past saving. Weak flow is the first sign of trouble.

Water-quality checks and equipment inspections

Testing for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH, plus a look over the plumbing, auto-fill and liner edges on every visit.

Signs your koi pond needs a clean out

  • The water has turned green or cloudy, or string algae is coating the rocks and waterfall.
  • There is a layer of sludge on the bottom, or the pond smells when you stir it up.
  • Plants have taken over and the fish have nowhere to swim.
  • The waterfall flow has dropped off, or the skimmer and filter are clogging within days of being cleaned.
  • Your koi are hanging at the surface in the morning or acting sluggish.

Questions we hear about pond maintenance & cleaning

We recommend every 1-2 years you fully clean out your pond, cut back the plants, and revitalize your water garden. Ponds with a lot of trees overhead or a heavy fish load tend to need it yearly; a lightly stocked, well-filtered pond can go two.
