Cleanouts
Cleanout Process
Draining and Fish Safety: We use professional pumps to drain your pond, moving the water and any aquatic life into a holding tank until the clean out process is finished.
Debris Removal: Our team will manually remove all large debris, such as leaves, sticks, and algae, in and around the pond.
Pressure Washing & Cleaning filters: We then pressure wash all rocks, waterfalls, and pond liners to remove dirt, algae, and muck During this step, we also thoroughly clean the biofall and skimmer filters to ensure all components are free of debris. All of this is then flushed out of the pond.
Finishing touches: We'll pump the original water back into your pond, while transferring any aquatic life. We then add beneficial bacteria to help maintain clear water and a dechlorinator if you are on city water.
What We Need From You
To ensure a smooth and efficient cleanout, we'll need a few things from you on the day of service:
Access to Water: A working hose bib with a running water supply.
Access to Power: A functioning electrical outlet to power our equipment.
Drainage Area: A suitable place on your property to safely drain and flush out the muck and dirt.

Fall shutdown service
As the seasons change, preparing your pond for winter is essential to protect your fish and keep your water feature healthy. Our fall shutdown service is designed to safely prepare your pond for the colder months, making for a smooth and healthy start-up in the spring.
Our Process
Debris and Plant Removal: We start by removing fallen leaves and other organic debris that can break down and harm water quality over the winter. We also trim back aquatic plants to prevent decomposition.
Equipment Winterization: We'll safely remove and store your pumps to protect them from freezing temperatures and damage.
Winter Protection: We can also install pond netting to prevent leaves from entering the pond and recommend aerators or de-icers to maintain an open hole in the ice for gas exchange.
