Backyard Pond Problems

Maintaining a backyard pond comes with its list of pond problems. Algae, floating plants, emergent plants, and submerged plants take every opportunity to overrun your backyard oasis. Here is a quick rundown of the usual suspects and ways to deal with their intrusion.

Algae occur to a certain extent in every pond. Not all algae are harmful, though. Chara, for example, is a natural filter keeping your pond’s water clear and crisp. Too much algae will turn your small lake or pond into a soupy mess. Whether it’s brown or green, Sanco has a full line of pond maintenance products to rein-in rampant algae growth and reclaim your pond.

Higher order plants present their own set of problems. Emergent weeds along the shoreline can provide areas where trash can collect. Ponds with sufficient wind break will have a problem with an established floating weed colony. Submerged weeds can be a swimming hazard and propeller entanglement problem for recreational ponds.

Take a look at our aquatic herbicides. Sanco has the right product to bring these pond problems under control. Shop our online store, or contact us with your pond problems to get answers from the experts.
