(2-visit process)
A two-visit process for an efficient winter shutdown, our first visit in the early-fall includes tenting/netting* to prevent leaves from falling in the pond while leaving the pond running for the fall. Our second visit will be later in the year to remove the net (optional) and shut down the pond for winter.

Fall Drain & Clean Service
Fall leaves and debris can accumulate in your pond, and if left to decay, will negatively impact your water quality. Our comprehensive Drain & Clean service, which includes the trimming back of plants, ensures the health and beauty of your pond, while also preparing it for a vibrant comeback (and less work!) in the spring.
Autumn is also a great time to inspect your equipment to ensure it’s in proper working condition, giving you ample time to repair or replace any damaged equipment ahead of the cold months!
