Why Choose Pond Maintenance?

Preventing issues before they arise is the key to maintaining a vibrant pond.

Our maintenance and care plans ensure that your pond stays in top shape so that you can enjoy it without worrying about time-consuming upkeep.

  • Complete Package: For the dedicated pond owner, this package includes regular maintenance visits every 2 to 3 months and an annual full pond clean.
  • Deluxe Package: For those who want the highest level of care, the Deluxe package includes additional support for larger ponds, more frequent visits, and priority scheduling during busy seasons.

What’s Included in Our Maintenance & Care Plans

Our pond maintenance packages are tailored to meet the unique needs of your pond, with both one-off services and annual plans to choose from.

Here’s what you can expect when you book a service with us:

Annual Full Pond Clean

A thorough, professional cleaning once a year is vital for maintaining the health of your pond’s ecosystem. This service includes:

  • Emptying the Pond

    We safely remove fish, wildlife, plants, and equipment before draining the pond. Fish and wildlife are placed in safe, covered housing tanks with air pumps to keep them comfortable during the process.

  • Pond Cleaning

    The pond is carefully cleaned, removing all organic waste, debris, and sludge, ensuring that harmful contaminants are cleared away.

  • Tidy Up Aquatic Plants

    We trim and tidy any overgrown or unwanted plants, promoting healthy growth and preventing overcrowding.

  • Surrounding Area Maintenance

    Paving slabs, stone edging, and pebbles are cleaned to maintain a neat and tidy pond area, especially for wildlife ponds.

  • Debris Disposal

    All organic matter and debris are removed from the pond and placed in your composting area.

  • Equipment Servicing

    All pond equipment (filters, pumps, etc.) is thoroughly inspected, cleaned, and serviced. We check UV sterilizers, replacing any bulbs as necessary.

  • Pond Structure Inspection

    We check for any cracks or damage in the pond structure that could lead to future issues.

  • Refilling the Pond

    After cleaning, we refill your pond using treated water, ensuring it’s free from harmful chemicals or contaminants.

  • Eco-Treatments

    We add organic eco-treatments to help maintain a healthy, clear pond, promoting a balanced ecosystem for your fish and plants.

Regular Maintenance Visits

Regular visits are essential to keep your pond in pristine condition. Our maintenance visits are available every 2 to 3 months, depending on the package you select. During each visit, we perform the following:

  • Pond Equipment Check

    We inspect and clean all pond equipment, including filters, pumps, and UV sterilizers. Any necessary replacements, such as filter pads or UV bulbs, are provided (separate charge).

  • Aquatic Plant Care

    We trim, tidy, and control any overgrowth of aquatic plants, weeds, or algae, including blanket weed and duckweed.

  • Water Quality Check

    We test and maintain the water quality, checking for any signs of imbalance, such as high nutrient levels or harmful chemicals.

  • Eco-Treatments

    We apply eco-friendly treatments to improve water clarity, suppress unwanted algae, and support the overall health of the pond.

  • Weed and Algae Control

    We remove any algae or weeds that may be detracting from the pond’s beauty and health, making sure it remains clear and clean.

  • Pond Condition Advice

    During each visit, we’ll give you valuable advice on maintaining your pond and provide expert guidance on enhancing its health and beauty. We’re always happy to answer any questions.

What Our Customers Say

Andre came to quote for a repair to our traditional stone circular pond, which was leaking, he discussed with us an alternative to repairing by installing an Aquascape pond which would be a more natural environment and attract more wildlife.
We discussed the layout as we wanted a fountain going into the pond with rocks and colourful plants. What he has created is a work of art and we are very pleased with it.
He has such an attention to detail placing rocks so the water runs just at the right angle & studying from different areas to ensure it looks good from the house looking down & from anywhere in the garden.
We are excited to see the wildlife & the plants when they mature through the year ahead.
Already after a few weeks we have thousands of tadpoles, the fish are thriving and the plants are starting to spread and bloom, it really does look absolutely beautiful.
Thank you Andre

Andre is a master of his art. We inherited a traditional circular pond, showing lots of black liner (which leaked), surrounded by a concrete circle. Andre discussed with us an alternative to just replacing the liner, which would be a more natural environment and attract more wildlife. We discussed the general idea of stream, pond, rocks and beach area. What he has delivered is over and above anything we imagined. It is stunning and we love it. He has such an eye for detail in placing rocks and plants, studying from every angle to ensure a perfect picture from anywhere in the garden. I cannot wait to enjoy all the seasons with my grandchildren, creating many memories and encouraging their joy of wildlife.

Wellies and Waders have just completed a pond build for us here in the South Hams of Devon. We gave Andre the brief of creating a natural looking, wildlife friendly pond with a small stream to remind us of a Dartmoor stream.
The finished project exceeds our expectations and is infinitely better than the old, preformed pond which it replaced. The pond looks fantastic, the stream is fantastic and he also added a second small waterfall for additional contrast and impact.
Andre is not only a perfectionist with a great attention to detail but throughout the build he was working on the pond as if it was his own garden and he was building it for his own enjoyment. Our garden has been transformed and we and our children are delighted.
Andre is an absolute pleasure to deal with and we could not recommend him highly enough.

André Crawford has done a lovely job of remodelling and cleaning my garden pond. At 98, I do not get out very much and my pond has been a wonderful source of entertainment. It is full of newts which appear in spring and summer and the occasional frog, dragonflies and other insects. It was created by a huge amount of hard work and design flair by André. Thank you so much.

“Well done Andre’ all your hard work has paid off transforming our ponds from over grown and neglected embarrassment to a wonderful water feature and the jewel in our garden! We would highly recommend you above anyone else in the Bay who we have used in the past and had very disappointing results with no interest in after sales care, you have been completely the opposite going that extra mile and offering a great ongoing maintenance service!”

“André is very reliable, extremely hard working and takes pride in his work. His knowledge of ponds is excellent. He did an amazing job transforming our overgrown pond into a beautiful feature.

Our grandchildren loved watching and helping where able as they are young and learnt a great deal about ponds and the wild life that was present in it.

Highly recommend.”
