Spring Cleanup Service
Restore the beauty and health of your pond with our comprehensive spring cleanup, following Aquascape Inc.'s proven methods.
Why clean your existing water feature?
Starting at $300 with a free quote our spring pond cleanout is essential for maintaining a healthy and vibrant aquatic environment. Over the winter, organic debris such as leaves and sludge accumulate at the bottom of the pond. As temperatures rise in spring, this buildup can lead to poor water quality and promote excessive algae growth. A thorough spring cleaning removes this debris, ensuring clear water and a balanced ecosystem.
Benefits of a Spring
Pond Cleanout:​
​
-
Prevents Algae Overgrowth: Removing accumulated debris reduces nutrient levels that fuel algae blooms, keeping the water clear and healthy.
-
Enhances Water Quality: Eliminating decaying organic matter prevents the release of harmful gases and toxins, promoting a balanced ecosystem.
-
Protects Aquatic Life: A clean pond provides a safer environment for fish and beneficial bacteria, supporting their health and activity.
-
Ensures Equipment Efficiency: Cleaning filters and pumps prevents clogs and maintains optimal performance of your pond's filtration system.
-
Improves Aesthetic Appeal: A clean pond enhances the beauty of your landscape, providing a tranquil and visually pleasing focal point.
Consequences of Skipping Spring Cleanout:
-
Algae Blooms: Excess nutrients from debris can lead to rapid algae growth, turning your pond into a murky, green mess.
-
Oxygen Depletion: Decomposing organic matter consumes oxygen, potentially leading to fish kills and an unhealthy pond environment.
-
Equipment Damage: Clogged filters and pumps can overwork and fail, resulting in costly repairs or replacements.
-
Unpleasant Odors: Accumulated sludge and decaying matter can produce foul smells, detracting from your outdoor enjoyment.
-
Unbalanced Ecosystem: Neglecting maintenance disrupts the natural balance, making it harder to restore a healthy pond later.
Investing in a professional spring pond cleanout ensures a thriving aquatic environment, protects your investment, and enhances the enjoyment of your outdoor space throughout the year.

Step-by-Step Spring Cleaning Process
1. Drain the Pond
We begin by placing a clean-out pump at the deepest point to remove water efficiently.
2. Remove Debris
Using nets and buckets, we eliminate leaves, sludge, and other debris from the pond bottom and surfaces.
3. Clean Surfaces
We gently rinse rocks and gravel with a garden hose, starting from the top and working downward, avoiding over-scrubbing to preserve beneficial algae.
4. Clean Filters
​We remove and rinse the media nets and filter pads from the BioFalls® filter, ensuring they are free of debris.
5. Refill and Treat Water
After cleaning, we refill the pond with fresh water and add Aquascape Pond Detoxifier™ to neutralize chlorine and chloramines, making the water safe for fish.
6. Reintroduce Fish
Once the water temperature stabilizes, we acclimate and return your fish to their clean habitat.
7. Algae Control and Water Treatment
To maintain water clarity and reduce algae growth, we apply Aquascape Clean for Ponds, a treatment that breaks down sludge and minimizes filter maintenance.
8. Filter Maintenance
We inspect and clean your pond's filtration system, including skimmers and biological filters, to ensure optimal performance.
