Residential & Commercial PROFESSIONAL POND, WATERFALL, & FOUNTAIN CLEANING SERVICES

BI-WEEKLY & ANNUAL CLEANING & MAINTENANCE OPTIONS

BACKYARD FOUNTAINS & PONDS

Water features can be the pinnacle of almost any community – or a complete aquatic biohazard if not managed correctly. We understand the dynamics of community parks, associations, and other water features. We service outdoor water fountains, backyard fountains, natural ponds, and more.

OUTDOOR PONDS & FOUNTAINS

We work with municipal community parks, or cities needing assistance with retention basins. Additionally we have numerous maintenance routes setup throughout the state for outdoor water fountains, commercial ponds, plus more.

COMMERCIAL FOUNTAINS & PONDS

Whether its’a backyard pond, outdoor fountain, or commercial business complexes to commercial strip-malls. Clean and effective running water features can generate customers while also keeping them around while they study, meet with associates, and enjoy the surrounding environment.

WE MAINTAIN ALL TYPES OF PONDS, FOUNTAINS & WATERFALLS

COMMERCIAL & RESIDENTIAL FOUNTAIN MAINTENANCE

Depending on your pond and fountain maintenance goals, the unique makeup of every lake system will determine the total plan. Custom Lake management programs should be setup for a property and can vary immensely. Because of this, creating a program to effectively manage larger water systems requires an extremely high level of experience in applied pond management. You should be able to make a detailed initial assessment of the biological conditions of the waterbody on site. We know better than anyone that not every property owner or apartment complex manager is equipped to do this

WATER QUALITY MONITORING & TESTING

Whether your pond or water fountain is enjoyed for the fishing, swimming, as as a deterrent for noise, or just because it has a scenic view, it’s imperative to maintain the water feature so that it is kept clean and free of any harmful bacteria. The last thing any commercial complex wants is a green, murky, stinky, pond or stream.

The team at Lake Management Inc, offers on-site testing services for water quality, fish health, as well as offers landscape services. Regular testing and monitoring of the water quality provides us with the date required to keep aquatic ecosystems healthy.

NOT ALL POND-LESS WATERFALLS & FOUNTAINS ARE THE SAME

Depending on the use and goals of different bodies of water, there might be different management strategies needed. A recreational pond or fountain being managed for fishing will need a different program than a stormwater pond would require. Similarly, a pond managed for a homeowner association should expect to have different needs and issues than a golf course lake will have.

NOXIOUS WEED AND POND ALGAE TREATMENT

Lake Management Inc. has a fleet of aquatic pond technicians that operate with equipment capable of testing your water for algae issues. This fleet of equipment enables us to quickly and easily navigate all sorts of aquatic systems to provide treatments and perform other pond maintenance and management tasks that are needed.

We use the most advanced practices and products in order to provide our clients with the highest quality of environmentally conscious aquatic vegetation and algae control services. Our solutions for algae treatment and lake weed control eliminate undesirable exotic weeds and algae that otherwise would jeopardize your aquatic ecosystem’s balance.

POND & FOUNTAIN MANAGEMENT - PERFECTED

Monitoring, testing and the restoration of pond and fountain water quality are the foundation of any long-term integrated pond and fountain maintenance program. It is essential to know the biological and chemical demands placed on your body of water and use this information to bring balance to your system.

The majority of issues pond and lake owners and managers face usually can be traced to some kind of imbalance in the water quality. Excessive nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus can play a major role in creating the following nuisances:

Pond & fountain algae blooms
Foul odors
Poor water quality
Poor health of the aquatic life (if natural)

Alkalinity, pH, dissolved oxygen and other parameters equally play an important role in an aquatic system’s health. The biological and chemical oxygen demand on your pond or lake at a specific time will tell us quite a bit about its current conditions and the likelihood of issues developing in the future.

SUCCESSFUL POND & FOUNTAIN STRATEGIES

Successful strategies for pond management begin with determining a baseline understanding of current conditions. This is developed through gathering good data from water testing and using that information to develop and prescribe a restoration program for the water quality.

Our programs are tailored to the specific goals and needs of your waterbody. Using this approach, we will maximize the chances of long-term ecological sustainability and balance in your water feature. We also specialize in Koi pond maintenance and installation if you are considering going beyond fountain and pond services.

If you own a pondless waterfall, stream or similar we can help you repair, maintain, or reconstruct the water features on hand.

POND & FOUNTAIN MAINTENANCE FAQ

WHAT IS POND MANAGEMENT?

Pond management is when a company oversees the associated water features on your commercial or residential property. Managing both large and small bodies of water can present difficulties to some – which is why we are around. We encourage you to reach out today if you have any questions or concerns with your water features.

WHAT TO DO IF MY POND, STREAM, OR WATERFALL IS LOSING WATER?

The best thing you can do if your pond, waterfall, stream, or fountain is losing water – is turn the water feature off and let it sit for 24 hours to determine where the leak might be. If the water feature only loses water when it runs, the leak could be located in the plumbing, equipment, or potentially be splash (if you have a waterfall or similar)

If you turn the water off and you’re still losing water, the leak is most likely in the basin (regardless if it’s a pondless waterfall or not) in this case your next step will be to determine if the leak is worth patching, or replacing the pond liner entirely is needed.

I'D LIKE TO ADD WATER LILIES & OTHER POND PLANTS, DO YOU DO THIS?

Yes, although we prefer if you pick out the aquatic plants first with the plant supplier, and then we’ll install the plants according to your water feature.

MY FISH ARE GETTING EATEN BY WILDLIFE WHAT CAN I DO?

Typically we suggest having your pond or fountain constructed with powerful filters and pumps – to make managing and maintaining the algae in your water feature is easy on yourself.

Although we understand this isn’t always the case, sometimes there’s no room for big pumps and filtration, therefor you need a pond and fountain maintenance company (similar to that of a pool company) to help you clean your water fountains, garden ponds, and more.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN POND MAINTENANCE AND CLEANINGS

It really depends on the size of your water feature and if there are fish / turtles involved and what type of equipment your using.

For residential properties with small – medium size ponds / fountains, one can expect to spend at least $99 – $150 per month.

For larger commercial ponds and fountains, the cost starts at about $160 – $500 per month depending on additional factors.

For small lakes and large ponds, the cost can be $500 – $1,500 per month.

For large lakes and retention basin maintenance, the cost can go up exponentially depending on the amount of maintenance needed, and how many times per week we are required to visit the property.
