Pond Service vs. DIY

02 Jan 2013

Sometimes solving an issue with your pond can become excessively time consuming or it may simply be beyond your experience. When should you look for an expert in pond maintenance instead of treating your pond yourself?

Generally, a young pond requires less work. Most people with a well designed, freshly dug pond will have few problems for the first 3-4 years. Simply adding colorants and biologicals and spot treating algae will get you by. As the pond ages, new situations develop. Weed seeds are introduced, organic matter may build up, drought conditions may arrive, flooding may occur, etc. Any of these situations may cause something to change in the pond.

It is always best to attempt to treat the problem yourself if you are well versed in treating ponds. If you should fail to control the problem, it is important to contact a quality pond care company as soon as possible. This will allow them to address the issue quickly before it gets any worse. They may be able to give further advice or they will be able to inform you on what they can do for you. Leaving a problem go will cost you more money and time. The sooner you address the problem, the less costly the solution.
