HOW MUCH WILL IT COST & WHEN WILL IT BE COMPLETED?
This is a difficult question to answer, however we try to clean your pond as cost effectively as possible. Each pond is different and has many variables that influence the time it takes to clean - such as the size, when it was last cleaned out, fish load, and the effects from the seasons. A pond clean-out start at $700 and a pre-payment is required to ensure a spot on our schedule. We start taking pre-payments in December for the following year clean-out. If you are a new customer we do require photos to be sent to get a more accurate pricing. Depending on weather we typically start our Spring Clean-outs at the end of February or beginning of March.
It is necessary to drain and clean your pond/water feature regularly. If you fail to set your system up so that it's working in harmony with mother nature then you'll be asking for a lot of related problems which may require you to drain and clean on a regular basis. A full clean out should happen at least once a year. Typically this is done in Spring before the weather gets warm and the bacteria has an opportunity to set up. Cleaning a pond is a dirty job! If you don't want to clean your pond/water feature yourself, call us and get on the schedule.
