Why do I need a Pond Maintenance Plan?
Regain your pride in your pond with a Pond Maintenance Plan.
A Pond Owner’s Story
Recently a concerned pond owner submitted a Pond Assessment request with these comments.
“ We have a large pond on our land. Growing up, it was teeming with all kinds of life. I used to fish there everyday. There were huge bass, carp, crappies, bream, bait fish, etc. There is nothing in there now fish wise. It has been this way for many years now. It’s been well over 25 years since I caught a fish in there. There are plenty of frogs though. I’ve seen many tadpoles over the years. It’s rather murky and dark. The water is black almost when you look at it and the sun isn’t shining on it. So many leaves have fallen in it over the years and sank. It’s to the point the bottom is just muddy and littered with dead leaves. It is surrounded by lots of smaller trees with some having fell into it.“
This pond owner is concerned about his pond and its current condition. We are moved by his feelings of disappointment and his desire to return the pond to a healthy environment teeming with fish, and other aquatic life.
Whether your pond is a stormwater pond, farm pond, or naturally occurring pond, an annual pond maintenance plan will keep your pond clean, healthy, and a great environment for aquatic life.

Pond Maintenance is not a one-time-fix-all
Pond Maintenance is a combination of weed control, clean-up, and more.
Pond Fountains, and Aerators add oxygen to ponds to help control weeds.
Pond Lake Management can supply Trash Guards, Fish Feeders, and Turtle Traps.
Consistent Pond Care Will Help Clean Up Your Pond
The good news is that with consistent pond care and clean-up work, most ponds can be returned to a healthy, thriving environment. Pond Lake Management can help you clean up your pond, and install and maintain a Pond Fountain, or Pond Aeration to help oxygenate the pond water.
Pond Fountains help put oxygen back into the pond and keep the water moving to help control weed growth. A Fountain in your pond also provides a beautiful appearance for your pond that can be enhanced with a variety of spray patterns, and lighting options. Be sure to check out our post on “8 reasons to install a Pond Fountain”.
If you want to change up your lighting options, Pond Lake Management can install RGB lighting options that will give you an assortment of color options that you can control from the comfort of your home.
Pond Aeration provides the same benefits but they are best suited for deeper waters and when an aesthetically pleasing look is not required. Larger ponds can be outfitted with several aeration units for maximum coverage.
Good pond maintenance is NOT a one-time fixes-all solution!
