If your pond is full of debris and its been a while since you have done a full clean out, then it might be time to give your pond a springtime overhaul!
It is recommended to do a full clean-out once every 2-3 years. How often you will actually have to do it will depend on a few different things: how well the pond is balanced and maintained throughout the seasons, and the ponds location (the amount of sun it receives and the surrounding tree coverage are important to consider because both of these factors have an impact on water quality.) Not sure if your pond needs a cleaning ? Then the crew at Action Water Gardens, Inc. can come check out your water feature, and will let you know exactly what you'll need to do!
Doing a full clean-out also gives you an opportunity to make changes or to add something to your existing waterfeature. Starting with a clean surface and draining the water down will allow you to work on projects such as adding lights or adding and adjusting rock work.
Here is a checklist of tasks that should be done when performing a full pond clean-out:
