With weekly, biweekly, and monthly options, we take care of the details so you can simply enjoy your peaceful oasis without worrying about filters, chemicals, or water quality.

What Our Pond Cleaning & Maintenance Looks Like

Answering Common Pond Maintenance Questions

What's the cost of pond maintenance?

Pond maintenance costs range from $350 to $1,400 per month, depending on the frequency of visits—weekly, biweekly, or monthly. We’ll work with you to find a plan that suits your needs and budget.

Can I maintain the pond myself?

Yes, you can! For hands-on DIYers, pond maintenance is possible with dedication. Some tasks need to be done weekly, others biweekly or monthly. Keeping to a consistent maintenance schedule helps keep your pond’s ecosystem and fish healthy and thriving.

How often do I have to maintain my pond?

Pond maintenance includes weekly, biweekly, and monthly tasks. Sticking to a regular maintenance schedule will make sure that your pond ecosystem remains balanced and your fish stay healthy.

Will maintenance affect my fish or vegetation?

Regular maintenance keeps your fish and plants healthy. We conduct fish health checks, trim aquatic plants, and apply plant fertilizers and water treatments to protect both fish and vegetation.

Is pond maintenance mandatory?

Yes, regular maintenance is necessary. Ecosystem ponds are relatively low-maintenance, but they still need consistent care. Neglecting routine upkeep can lead to equipment failure, liner damage, and harm to your fish and plants.

What happens to my fish during the pond maintenance?

For most routine maintenance, your fish can remain in the pond. However, during more intensive cleanings, such as spring deep maintenance, we temporarily relocate your fish to a “fish spa” to ensure their safety and perform a thorough health check.

Despite the fact that we won “most intense spring pond clean-up” Ben did the job well and with a smile!

This company truly has a passion to beautify and and maximize pond spaces, so to be able to simply make a phone call and have our set-up in spring and our close down in fall taken care of is wonderful! Now, we can simply enjoy!

Thanks again Ben!

Ben was great. He was able to scheduled a spring cleaning in a few days. Our pond is the cleanest it’s ever been. He moved some of the boulders around for a more attractive pond. Our 9 koi fish love the space. They are super active compared to before.

The price is worth it and reasonable. We purchased the basic package for spring clean up and winterization in the fall. I think it’s a great value and will save us a lot of time trying to do it ourselves.

He is very responsive when we text or call with questions. He’s very knowledgeable and has helped us improve our ecosystem for a healthier pond and koi life.
