Exploratory Drain & Clean
Buying a house with a pond is exciting — until you realize you have no idea how to take care of it.
That’s exactly why we created our Exploratory Drain & Clean. This service is designed for new homeowners who just inherited a pond they know nothing about, and for existing customers whose ponds haven’t been properly cleaned in 2+ years.
- We fully drain and deep-clean the entire pond
- We document all your equipment — make, model, and specs
- We measure your pond’s exact square footage and gallons
- We spend extra time teaching you how to properly maintain your pond going forward
This is the perfect first step for new pond owners. We don’t just clean it — we make sure you understand how to keep it healthy.

* Why is the Exploratory priced higher?
Unknown ponds often have much heavier sludge buildup, hidden equipment issues, or repair needs. We budget extra time to fully assess your pond, document everything, and teach you how to care for it properly.
Algae Control & Health Pond
Algae Control & Water Clarity
Green water or string algae in your pond is not a surface problem — it’s a sign your pond’s ecosystem is out of balance.
Green Water (Pea-Soup Green) This usually means you have too much organic matter for your current filtration to handle. Our approach focuses on fixing the root cause:
- Reducing fish feeding
- Evaluating and optimizing your filtration system
- Adding beneficial bacteria to restore biological balance
String Algae
Fish are nature’s best string algae eaters. We also offer two effective solutions:
Tilapia – Natural algae control (we grow and sell them seasonally)
IonGen System – An electronic water clarifier that eliminates string algae without chemicals
Instead of just treating symptoms, we help you build a healthier pond that naturally stays clear.
