Pond Maintenance

Preserving the beauty, longevity, and natural ambiance of your pond or water feature.

Healthy Backyard Pond

Regular pond maintenance is essential for preserving the beauty, functionality, and longevity of your pond or water feature. Proper care prevents costly repairs or renovations while keeping your pond’s ecosystem healthy and vibrant. Our seasonal and monthly maintenance plans are designed to maintain your pond’s stability, ensuring it functions like new for years to come.

We recommend a minimum of three visits—summer, fall, and winter maintenance—to address seasonal needs. However, monthly maintenance is the ideal way to ensure optimal performance, reduce the need for full cleanings, and prevent expensive issues from arising. With consistent care, you’ll enjoy a thriving pond ecosystem that remains a stunning centerpiece of your outdoor space.

Explore our maintenance packages to find the plan that best suits your pond’s needs and keeps your water feature running smoothly year-round.
