Pond Cleans and Maintenance

Head Squared offers a swift and easy pond cleaning service. You might wonder why? Ponds unfortunately do not stay clean forever. Wind can pick up leaves and dust which settles in the pond over time. As leaves and detritus settle in the pond they begin to break down and become anaerobic. This is not positive for either plants or fish.

As this layer builds methane gas can be produced. This is extremely noxious to fish and other living organisms. Over time the Biological Oxygen Demand ('BOD') of the pond increases. In simple terms BOD is a description of the number of organisms using dissolved oxygen from the water to sustain their existence. When fish, plants and micro-organisms use up this oxygen the resource is depleted. If the BOD is too high then organisms start to die; many ponds have struggling fish and dieing plants due to the level of BOD.

The Solution

It is an excellent idea after winter to kick start any pond by removing waste and leaves which have built up. A spring clean around April or May will make the summer months a more pleasurable experience for your client.

A pond clean can re-establish a balanced ecosystem. By removing the excess waste you can re-establish a crystal clear pond, increase the depth of water thus increasing space for the fish and reduce your monthly maintenance regime. If you wish to discuss your needs, whatever quantity of water you have, please don't hesitate to give a call. Book fast though, as spring is a busy time for pond cleaning.
