At PondScapes Atlanta, we have been creating and running maintenance for koi ponds everywhere in Atlanta for dozens of clients for more than 10+ years. Pond cleaning is a very essential part of maintaining your yard – and we provide the service to help you make sure that your landscaping koi pond will be beautiful all season long.

As with all things, water gardens have their share of issues. Leaks, algae blooms and other problems can be relatively easy to address. Although, when your favorite koi starts having problems, it takes a professional to find the cause.

Pondscapes Atlanta has that expert. Between us we have over fifteen years of aquatic management experience. Our Aquatic Biologist, Rich Carter, has a Bachelors of Science specializing in fisheries and aquatic environments. He has managed many large-scale aquatic stores, and a exotic fish hatchery. Pulling from this extensive background our expert can help with getting your favorite fish back on the road to recovery quickly. Sometimes, a simple water quality test and assessment are enough to help a fish-related problem. Unfortunately, sometimes your aquatic environment are far worse than first thought, and we need to supply a microscopic analysis to find out the source of the issues. Pondscapes Atlanta has the tools to do just that. Once we have verified the problem, we can make recommendations to eradicate parasites and diseases based on the specific situation.

Reasons to Clean your Atlanta, Georgia Pond

Some ponds are never maintained and the ponds and its occupants survive handsomely. However, a large number of ponds are created with high fish densities or are built in locations where the aquatic environment receives a great deal of debris over the year. Regardless if you start out with just a few aquatic animals initially, in a healthy pond they will multiply to the point that the number of fish will push the environmental limits of your pond and pumps.

Removing debris during the autumn months reduces wastes in the lower levels of the aquatic environment which may turn anaerobic if sufficient oxygen is not available, generating a breeding ground for harmful disease, or which may decompose, releasing ammonia and other harmful chemicals that can be trapped under the ice. The continual build-up of these toxins can lead to fish kills during the winter. While keeping a hole in the ice during the cold season will help with alleviating the accumulation of toxins, pond maintenance before the beginning of winter will help eliminate the overall possiblity of problems.

Cleaning the pond in the warmer months may assist in reducing infections and unwanted organisms that often occur as the aquatic environment and its accompanying biology heat up for the middle of the year, as well as eliminate the overall availability of nutrients that start algae blooms.
