Spring
Cleanout Information
Spring is just around the corner, and that means the time is here to clean
water features. Whether you have a pond or a pondless waterfall, you should
consider having them cleaned during the spring to get a head start on the
summer season.
We will be scheduling
clean-outs from now through April and May. The response is active and some
are already scheduled, so the sooner we hear from you, the better.
We will drain the
feature, gently remove fish, clean streams, filters and fertilize the
aquatic plants. Other areas of attention include cleaning the pond area and
pondless waterfall basin; add the fish back (if you have them) and refill
with water. De-chlorinator and bacteria will be added upon completion.
We will, with your
permission, add new lights, change bulbs and fix leaks on skimmers and
waterfalls with steel screws. This cleanout may also include adding new
filter media if needed or requested by you. These services will incur
additional charges for labor and materials.
The auto-fill will be
used after the fish have been placed back into the pond. When you return
home, just turn the feature back on and you should start enjoying your
lifestyle again. This allows us to move quickly to our next scheduled
appointment.
There are some new pond
products this year and can be researched at aquascapeinc.com,
including bacteria, sludge removal and some other new products. Just look
at the products section. We also have a new “Iongen” system to
install into the water line to help clean ponds of algae. This is becoming
a great tool that is controlled by the owners. If you are looking for a
local store to purchase pond supplies, StoneForest.net is located in
Kennesaw, GA and Southern Lawn Designs is located in Senoia, GA.
These local suppliers may be of help if you need to purchase products and
can’t wait for shipping.
If you need any rebuilding or enlargement of ponds or waterfalls, call for a
price before we perform the cleanout service to save yourself money on
removing the water twice for the rebuild.
Thank you and best wishes for you all!
