POND & WATER GARDEN CLEANOUTS
A pond or water garden was more than likely added to your property to provide a color and life to the landscape. It is a great DIY project that just about anyone can complete. If done correctly, the maintenance should be fairly low, but never zero. Like anything that develops in the natural environment, the seasons bring different needs for your pond or water garden. King’s Excavating offers pond and water garden clean outs year round.
- Spring Maintenance: Your pond is officially waking up from its long Winter slumber. Excess algae and bacteria are built up as well as debris. It is important to clean out your pond pumps as well as replace the dirty water with fresh water.
- Summer Maintenance: The summer time brings with it a lot of excess heat and vegetation. Every so often, it is important to clear our decaying vegetation such as lily pads, aquatic plants, and weeds.
- Fall Maintenance: Some property owners leave the ponds running through the fall while others begin to shut it down for the upcoming Winter. As the temperatures begin to lower and leaves begin to fall, it is important to add cold water bacteria into your pond and ensure any fish a healthy before they sleep for the winter.
- Winter Maintenance: Snow begins to fall and the temperatures have hit their lowest point. With coldness, you must ensure your pond pump is being properly taken care of as well as an relief point for the build up of harmful gasses to keep your fish okay through the season.
