Summertime is here & with the hot weather comes a HUGE growth of our Aquatic Plants – I LOVE IT! BUT, beware!
Pond Tip : Stay ahead of possible plant clogs and stream or waterfall dams by trimming and pruning your aquatic plant growth! It will keep your pond looking great and you will see increased bloom and performance as well! ALSO – Check and empty your skimmer weekly!
Its as simple as that folks! I clip dead or dying lilies once per week (and fertilize monthly during the season)! I also thin marginals as needed – Usually once or twice per season will do the trick! And vola’! NO clogs, or plant dams all season long!
Here’s to a GREAT Summer season around the Ponds!
PS: We offer weekly & monthly pond maintenance services. Call for more details – 731-424-2206.

Yesterday evening was so nice! A cool northerly breeze pushed all that humidity out and as the Landscape Lighting was kicking on the entire garden had such a ’Zen’ feeling… It was so surreal… I took this short video to share with you this morning.
Enjoy this day! And enjoy this week as well, it ends with a long weekend! Independence Day here we come! 💥🇺🇸💥

“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.”
