Pond Muck Removal

An important step in the health of any small lake or pond is pond muck removal. Ignoring pond muck removal can lead to a host of pond problems like unwanted algal blooms and marginal weed growth. Muck build up should be expected and maintaining a healthy level should be the goal of any comprehensive pond maintenance plan.

Pond problems that having too much pond muck can encourage include:

·         Excessive nutrients - As muck breaks down it releases nutrients into the water. Without beneficial bacteria competing with the algae for the nutrients in your pond it becomes an incubator for algae and aquatic weeds.

·         Safety Hazard - Excessive muck in public areas used for swimming cause the bottom to become slippery and unsafe.

·         Higher Plant Infestation - Without proper pond muck removal, your pond is slowly becoming filled with dead vegetation. This brings the pond bed closer or within the range to allow emergent and submerged weeds to take hold.
