Pond Maintenance & Cleaning

Pond Cleaning

Sekoia Services offer a complete pond cleaning service for clients (both private and corporate) of small domestic garden ponds to large koi ponds.

Clean and healthy water is a necessity for sustaining koi or ornamental fish. A pond environment requires the correct balance of plants, fish and filtration. If left unmaintained for long periods of time, a pond becomes unpleasant in both appearance and odour. The build-up of waste can cause a variety of problems from water quality/clarity and harmful bacteria, to fish health problems and diseases. Pond cleaning helps keep your pond in a good ecological condition allowing you to take pleasure from it all year long.

We can carry out a full pond clean at any time of the year as and when required.

Sekoia Services take the following steps when cleaning your pond:

  • A partial amount of water is pumped out to make it easier to catch the fish
  • The fish and other inhabitants are transferred to a temporary holding tank (provided by Sekoia Services)
  • Aquatic plants are carefully removed from the pond
  • The remaining pond water is pumped out of the pond usually to a suitable drain
  • Black sludge/silt from the pond is removed and placed onto the garden (an excellent organic fertilizer)
  • The pond sides and base are power washed, and debris removed.
  • Mechanical and Biological filtration media is cleaned
  • Filter/fountain and waterfall pumps are cleaned
  • Fountain/waterfall/feature is cleaned
  • Aquatic plants are divided if necessary, re-potted, dead leaves and stems removed
  • The pond is re-filled with water to a level safe for aquatic plants and fish
  • We utilise a meter to gauge the total gallons of your pond when filling
  • We apply water conditioners based on the full pond volume and safely return your fish and aquatic plants

Once your pond has been cleaned, we can then provide you with an on-going Maintenance Service. Please see our Pond Maintenance Service.

Please contact us to arrange an appointment.

Once we have visited your pond and established the size and cleaning requirements, we will then be able to provide you with a pond cleaning quotation.
