Pond Cleaning

Does your garden pond need cleaning?

Henley Landscapes provide a pond cleaning and maintenance service for private and corporate clients in Stratford-upon-Avon and throughout Warwickshire. We have the experience and equiment needed to clean and maintain anything from small domestic garden ponds to large aquatic features in the grounds of corporate premises.

The correct balance of plants, fish and filtration is very important and most ponds require completely cleaning out every 4 or 5 years. If left unmaintained the water in a pond will change colour and start to smell. This is neither good for the aesthetics of the garden or the health of the ponds aquatic life.

Plants become overgrown and the pool collects a mixture of fish waste, leaves and organic debris. As this build up decomposes it gives off toxic gases that can effect the health of your fish. A black sludge forms on the bottom of the pool and you often see an oily film developing on the surface of the water which harms underwater plants due to the lack of light.

Henley landscapes offer a pond maintainence plan which solves this problem. We moniter the quality of your water, clear algee, built up levels of silt and overgrown aquatic plants. We check and maintain (or replace) water pumps, pond lighting and leaking liners.

If you just want your pond cleaning we also offer a pond cleaning and water feature cleaning service.

When cleaning your pond, we take the following steps:

1. Some of the water is pumped out to make it easier to catch the fish
2. The fish are kept safely in a holding tank of pond water for the duration of the cleaning along with any wildlife
3. The aquatic plants are carefully removed from the pond
4. The remaining pond water is pumped out of the pond
5. The black sludge in the bottom of the pond is either pumped out or removed by hand and placed onto the garden. This is an excellent organic fertilizer.
6. The pond liner is pressure washed and all debris removed
7. Aquatic plants are divided if necessary, re-potted , dead leaves and stems removed
8. The pond is refilled and a declorinator added during the refilling
9. Aquatic plants are returned to the clean pond along with the fish and other wildlife after a health check.

As well as our pond cleaning experts, our team can carry out any reconstructive, restoration or refurbishment work that may be required.

Pricing for Pond Cleaning

Each pond is unique in design, size and stocking levels. It is therefore necessary to carry out a site survey of your pond before a pond cleaning quote can be given. The survey is free of charge within a 25 mile radius of our premises in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire. Charges will be made to visit outside this area, however, this amount will be deducted from the final bill if the quote is accepted.
