Spring is no longer a rumor… It is HERE! People are calling in a frenzy to get their names on our maintenance list to insure they get their Ponds Serviced for the season! Its always exciting moving in to Spring Pond Season! Getting ready for another great year with our Koi Ponds and Water Gardens â¤ď¸ Guess what? A proper Spring Pond Cleaning is the key to success!

We clean a LOT of Water Features for our Clients. But, many do their own clean out. So for the all the DIYâs out there, hereâs a great little checklist to help you prepare for your clean-out. Experience has taught me that ALL projects benefit from advanced planning! Having all the necessary supplies on hand before you get started always makes it go faster and easier.

Planning ahead a little just means you can spend less time working on your pond and more time ENJOYING it!
Hereâs a list of supplies you will need! đđť
1. Fish Nets â Before you drain your pond for the spring clean-out, youâll need to catch and relocate your fish. Purchasing a good quality net means doing this without injuring your fish during the catch and release.
2. Planting Pots â Spring clean-out is a great time to thin and divide plants that have grown out of bounds or crowded a pot. Make sure you have some aquatic plant pots & aquatic plant soil handy so you can re-pot and share your new plants with other water gardeners.
3. Extra Gravel â After the freeze and thaw of winter, youâll inevitably find rocks and gravel that have shifted, exposing bare liner. With an extra bag or two of gravel, you can cover exposed liner in a jiffy.
4. Aquatic Plant Fertilizer â Take advantage of the water-free accessibility of water lilies, lotus, and other plants that may need to be fertilized, by having a container of aquatic plant fertilizer tabs on hand when youâre doing your pond clean-out.
5. Container for Plant Debris â Grab an old plastic plant pot or bucket so you can easily dispose of any debris that you gather from the pond bottom or from dead plant matter.
6. Rubber Gloves and Boots â Spring clean-outs can be cold, wet, and messy. Arming yourself with boots and gloves will go a long way toward making this chore much less unpleasant.
7. Fish Container â A large tub or tank will be needed so you can have a roomy place to keep your fish during the clean-out. Use water from the pond to fill the tank and use a small fountain pump to re-circulate the water.
8. Net to Cover the Fish Container â Fish, especially large Koi, jump, and they may very well jump right out of the container that you have set up for them. Be sure to cover it with a net that is pulled tight across the container to prevent them from jumping.
9. Pump and Discharge Pipe â To drain the water out of the pond, you will need a pump and some discharge pipe. Itâs OK to use your pond pump, but even better if you have an extra pump to lessen the wear and tare on your pond pump. About 2,000 GPH, depending on the size of your pond, will do the trick.
10. High Pressure Nozzle â Use a pressure nozzle on your garden hose to dislodge debris and algae from the rocks.
11. Pond Detox â Always detox the newly filled pond before you put the fish back in.
12. Expanding Foam â Expanding foam may need a bit of a touch up in some areas. Be prepared with a can of it just in case.
13. New Filter Mats â Filter mats should be replaced approximately every 3 years. If you think it might be time, be prepared by purchasing replacements prior to your clean-out.
14. Pruners â Part of a spring clean-out is pruning back dead plant material from the previous season. Make sure you have a good pair of pruners and/or scissors to get the job done.
15. Plastic Rake â You can rake the leaves right out of your pond with a small plastic (childâs) rake. The plastic lessens the chance of damaging the liner and the small size makes it easier to maneuver in tight spots than an adult size rake.

After the Water Feature is thoroughly cleaned, re-filled, detoxed and running, carefully place the fish back in the pond & start adding fresh Cold Temperature Bacteria to the Pond to get the system up and running correctly.

With a little work you too will be ready for a Great outdoor season.
Its Springtime Baby! đź
Happy Pond Tip Tuesday!
Have a great day!

What a gorgeous morning! We started around 30 degrees with full Sun âď¸ and it has steadily warmed… It will be mid 60âs soon and it sure is nice đ

We are gonna work in our yard a bit today, burn some leaves and maybe some steaks 𼊠on the grill as well! A little glimpse of Spring is pretty sweet on a Sunday! đđť

The days are getting longer! Spring approachith⌠Soon it will be time to start our pond maintenance crews to doing the yearly work of cleaning Ponds & Water Gardens for the season. People are already calling in to get their names on our maintenance list to insure they get their Ponds Serviced for the season! Its always exciting to get ready for another great year with our Koi Ponds and Water Gardens, and a proper Late Winter/Early Spring Pond Cleaning is the key to success!

We clean a LOT of Water Features for our Clients. But many do their own clean out.
For the all the DIYâs out there, hereâs a little checklist to help you be ready. My experience has taught me that projects of any type benefit from advanced planning. Having all the necessary supplies on hand before you get started always makes it go faster and easier.
HELPFUL TIP: itâs good planning to get your Aquatic Plant fertilizer tabs now, BEFORE draining your pond and then realizing you should have got them when you bought your low temp bacteria and dechlorinator. This keeps you from running to the store in the middle of your clean-out (which can mean a whole day of work instead of a half day) and it allows you to fertilize your plants while the pond is drained instead of later when the pond is full again.
Planning ahead a little just means you can spend less time working on your pond and more time ENJOYING it!
1. Fish Nets â Before you drain your pond for the spring clean-out, youâll need to catch and relocate your fish. Purchasing a good quality net means doing this without injuring your fish during the catch and release.
2. Planting Pots â Spring clean-out is a great time to thin and divide plants that have grown out of bounds or crowded a pot. Make sure you have some aquatic plant pots & aquatic plant soil handy so you can re-pot and share your new plants with other water gardeners.

6. Rubber Gloves and Boots â Spring clean-outs can be cold, wet, and messy. Arming yourself with boots and gloves will go a long way toward making this chore much less unpleasant.

Does the changing of the seasons change your entire world? If it does, you may be in a seasonal business… Or, you may just be a gardener đŞ´

What a beautiful Sunday morning! A dense fog burned off into a gorgeous Sunny day! I for one wonât be wasting time inside watching TV đş


My âSeasonal Sunday Officeâ is feeling pretty good đ


“An altered look about the hills;
A Tyrian light the village fills;
A wider sunrise in the dawn;
A deeper twilight on the lawn;
A print of a vermilion foot;
A purple finger on the slope;
A flippant fly upon the pane;
A spider at his trade again;
An added strut in chanticleer;
A flower expected everywhere …”
~Â Emily Dickinson, Nature : April
Have a happy day!
