With endless YouTube videos, you may be wondering why you can't simply command your own pond maintenance.  You certainly can!  Some folks prefer rolling up their sleeves and tackling it DIY.  It all comes down to personal preference, budget and what you are willing to take on to achieve a healthy balance for your backyard pond.  Here are some of the benefits of hiring a professional pond maintenance company...

Equipment - Pond services have all of the proper tools to handle any situation that arises - including the correct chemicals to address specific problems.  It can be hard for DIYers to identify, or even locate, the right equipment for each process.  

Identify Problems - A major benefit of pond professionals is that they are able to identify problems that can occur in the future and combat them in the present.  There are so many areas in which a yard or pond can cause issues to each other, fish, plants or your own home.  From design and build errors to simple ecosystem balance, their job is to foresee a potential problem and head it off at the pass.

Experience - The number one benefit of hiring a local pond maintenance service is the experience and advice they bring to the table.  These pros have spent years learning and perfecting processes and pinpointing issues regarding ponds, water features, fish, aquatic plants, chemicals, filters, pumps, design/build features and so much more.  Not only can they swiftly identify areas in need and know what the particular problem is, they can offer advice on how to better maintain the pond and what you can do to aid in its success.

Save Time/Money - Pond maintenance takes time, routine and consistency to keep them healthy and looking great.  With today's hectic pace, you may not have the time to devote considerable care to your backyard ecosystem.  A pond service can also save you money in the long run.  If you are not too experienced with pond problems, you may go through many different solutions until you learn the correct way to handle it.  This could mean money spent on unnecessary equipment, chemicals or even repair bills if something was mismanaged.  For those with little to no experience, DIY pond maintenance is definitely trial and error which may end up eating through your budget.

Getting Your Pond Ready For Fall

  As the summer sun sets earlier and temps begin to drop, it's important to prepare your pond for surviving the coming winter.  It takes a bit more than shutting off the pump and throwing a tarp on top to keep your ecosystem thriving and make a spring opening that much easier.  What is vital for your pond, especially if you have fish, is to maintain acceptable oxygen levels throughout the bitter weather and get rid of as much decaying debris as possible because they give off toxic gas.  When it comes down to it, is your pond ready for the fall? Leaves - Fallen leaves and other foliage that access your pond produce toxic gases as they decay, which can be harmful to fish and your ecosystem in general. Before the leaves begin to fall, put a protective net over the top to catch leaves.  When it's time to close up the pond all you have to do is roll up the netting and toss out the leaves collected.  Equipment - Now is the time for your pump and filters to be cle...

Chicago Pond Service Tip 2

One Of The Best Things You Can Do For Your Pond Is Keep Mowed Grass, Fallen Leaves And Tree Branches OUT Of It! Water features and ponds look stunning in backyard settings but not many people realize the maintenance that goes into them to keep them running in peak shape.  For many homeowners, they simply don't have the time, equipment or know-how to repair equipment, properly balance pH or keep fish and plants thriving. DIY can be overwhelming but the absolute greatest thing you can contribute to your pond is the simple act of keeping foreign objects out.  When the season changes or a big storm has passed through, scope out your pond and the surrounding area for branches, twigs and leaves.  These things can decay in your pond and completely throw off the pH, disrupting the delicate balance of your tiny ecosystem.  It's important to keep any trees or shrubs nearby well-trimmed. Another major disruption to your pond's chemical balance is grass...
