What Affects The Cost Of Maintaining Your Pond?
The are many variables that affect the cost to maintain your pond
The Size Of Your Pond
The size of the pond is a major factor when it comes to pond maintenance. Obviously larger ponds take more time to maintain and sometimes require different methods to properly maintain. For example, smaller ponds we can generally access fairly easily which can keep the labor cost down. Larger ponds, with intricate fountains or waterfalls, aren't so easy to access. We may need waders or even a small boat to properly access what we need.
Do You Have Fish In Your Pond?
If you have Koi or other fish in your pond the water quality must be maintained to a very specific standard. The water PH and total dissolved solids (minerals) need to be monitored and corrected when necessary. Usually some type of aerator is required and that must be maintained as well.
When Was The Last Time The Pond Was Maintained?
If your pond is regularly maintained it makes our job a lot easier. Sometimes we'll be called out to get a neglected pond back into a manageable state and that can cost more just due to the amount of additional work involved. To keep your pond in excellent shape and keep overall maintenance costs down, it's often best to just stay on top of the maintenance.
If you've just purchased a home with a pond that has been neglected we recommend scheduling a thorough pond cleaning before we begin with maintenance.
How Many Plants Are In The Pond?
Your plants contribute to the natural beauty and health of your ponds ecosystem. However, plants require upkeep like trimming, feeding, and sometimes even relocation or removal. Invasive plants can take over your pond as well and should be removed when necessary. An overgrown pond can look like an overgrown swamp and that's probably not the look you're going for.
Lighting And Electrical
Lighting and electrical can add to the maintenance requirements for your pond. Lights need to be maintained, they might need to be changed out as bulbs burn-out or if they are damaged. The electrical and wiring also needs to be maintained. Whenever you add electrical to the outdoors in a wet environment you are inviting problems to occur. This is just par for the course. When your lighting and electrical is working fine, great! When it's not.... Then it needs troubleshooting and repairs.
Your Pond Filtration System
Your pond filter keeps your water clean and clear. The filters or filter media must be inspected and changed or cleaned fairly regularly. Depending on the filtration system the cartridges or the specific media used can contribute the overall cost of your maintenance.
Choosing The Right Pond Contractor To Maintain Your Pond
Keeping your pond happy, healthy, and clear requires knowledge and time (either yours or a professional team). It's important to choose the right contractor for the job. Look for a company with experience in pond maintenance and one that can offer you a variety of services to keep your pond healthy and looking great.
Make sure that they are properly licensed and insured and that they have a good reputation in the community. Your pond is an asset to your property only when it's healthy and looking great. You want to make sure that you're getting the best possible service for your pond.
