To Clean or Not To Clean? – Professional Pond and Waterfall Building Tips

http://pondblog.com/2011/05/17/to-clean-or-not-to-clean

To Clean or Not To Clean? This spring, as I take calls for the usual spring clean-outs, I’ve gotten many questions regarding how far a pond owner needs to go for their clean-out. Do they need to pump it down, remove the fish and pressure wash? Can they just pump it partially down and partially clean it? Can they just skim out the debris and start it up? Well, the answer is not as simple as they may want to hear, but in short, the answer to all of the above questions is YES! Feed You can leave a response.

Clean – Outs! – Professional Pond and Waterfall Building Tips

http://pondblog.com/2011/05/09/clean-outs

Clean – Outs! This time of year we are. Waist deep in pond clean outs. Most of our pond owners like to start the year with a clean out. How much of a clean-out is necessary is the often asked question of the season. I always give my clients options. No water is removed, the filter media is cleaned and we remove as much debris and plant material as is possible with a net. Barley and bacteria are added, your pump is installed and we run the pond.

Pond Damage! – Professional Pond and Waterfall Building Tips

http://pondblog.com/2011/06/08/pond-damage

Sure, this mouse hole business is definitely damage, but it is not really the damage that I was refering to when I started this post. The damage that I was refering to is similar but on a much larger scale. Instead of orange or dime size holes, I’ve seen long holes large enough to pass a party sub sandwich through, sideways! These toothy little critters can really mess up your pond in a short time! What to do, what to do? Feed You can leave a response. From your own site. 23 Responses to "Pond Damage!

About Me – Professional Pond and Waterfall Building Tips

http://pondblog.com/about

Hey, thanks for checking out my site. A Bit of History. Well, you wouldn’t want your parents to see you intentionally dismantling your bike, especially when you weren’t sure how to put it back together. Anyway, taking apart is a great way to learn, but I spent many hours sweating profusely, trying to figure out how to get my parent’s appliances put back together. Ok, you’ve probably had enough of my extracurricular activities, on to the good stuff. How about some actual work experience? Out On My Own.

http://pondblog.com/2011/04/05/buckthorn-blitz

We have been hired to clean up a hillside full of Buckthorn. The site is just beautiful; a steep Northern and Western slope over-looking Nagawicka Lake in Delafield. The slope is dotted with large mature Oak trees and it is a very majestic view once the Buckthorn are removed. I’ll check back. This entry was posted on April 5, 2011 at 5:58 am.

Professional Pond & Waterfall Building Tips - Part 2

http://pondblog.com/page/2

Mink are powerful swimmers and aggresive eaters. When this happened to my client last year there pond was entirely cleared of life. They probably had 15-20 koi and goldfish in fall, but in spring, nothing. I was there doing the clean-out and I couldn’t believe my eyes. I found one fin at the base of the waterfall, that is it! Evidently they had seen some tracks in the snow, but didn’t think too much of it. The mink must have gotten in through the hole in the ice where their winter pump was. Before I owne...
