Pond Cleaning
What's included?
-
Test and treat water.
-
Skim the surface with a basic pond net to catch floating debris and leaves.
-
A vacuuming service that will clean built up algae, sludge, decomposing leaves and debris from the bottom of your pond.
-
Vacuuming will drain some pond water (about 15%-20%) so we will add clean water and treat it.
-
Clean and optimize water filtration. Clean any mechanical filters and media, removing leaves and biomatter from the skimmer.
-
Trim down excess plants surrounding the ponds edge.

How do I Calculate Pond Surface Area?
Rectangular / Square ponds
Calculating your ponds surface area is easy, measure your ponds length and width and multiply them together L X W= sq ft. A 6 x 6 pond would have a surface area around 36 sq ft, and would cost $160 to be cleaned.
Circle / irregular shaped ponds
Calculating surface area for circle ponds and irregular shaped ponds is a bit more challenging to calculate. There is always a degree of inaccuracy and estimation will be needed.
-
Measure the widest distance across the pond this to get the diameter.
-
Divide the diameter in half to get the radius.
-
Multiply the radius by Pi (3.14)
-
This formula assumes your pond is a perfect circle. If it isn't you must account for that, this is were you may need to estimate.
-
If your pond has a diameter of 8ft and a radius of 4ft it would roughly have a surface area of 50 sq ft, and would cost $300 to cleaned.

Why get your pond cleaned?
The goal of a pond cleaning is to remove built up decaying matter from the bottom of your pond. Decaying matter consist of leaves, fish waste, plant remains, sticks and silt. Our powerful pondvac removes all unwanted sludge. Vacuuming will drain about 15%-20% of your ponds water, removing toxic chemicals such as ammonia, phosphate and refilling with clean water. We ensure all filtration systems are working correctly and have proper flow. Sludge is a breeding ground for anaerobic bacteria and this type of bacteria produces a dangerous gas known as hydrogen sulfide. The leaves, fish waste, and other organic materials add to the nutrient load of your ecosystem and in some cases can even clog pumps creating a dangerous situation for your fish. Scheduling professional cleaning for your pond is a wise move that will save you time and money in the long run. Timely intervention can reduce costly cleanouts in the future.
