The Pond Guy is here to take the lead in ensuring your pond is cleaned and maintained properly. To maximize the effectiveness of remediation, we spray emergent growth that is at least 12”-18” above the water’s surface. A systemic herbicide will kill the emergent weeds down to the root to prevent the plant from re-growing. Our new argo sprayer allows us to reach even the most overgrown area.
We use lightweight, specialized equipment to avoid damaging existing landscape taking special care to remove these emergent weeds and give you back your pond. Offsite removal of debris may also be available. Most cattail and phragmites removal services are completed with one day.
Any removal of dead debris from a pond is beneficial. Pulling dead weeds, algae and decaying leaves from the pond will aid in slowing down muck build up while discouraging mosquitos, rodents and other predators. Debris removal will also help with pond odors and oxygen circulation giving your pond a more aesthetic appeal and better accessibility for pond activities.
We use lightweight, turf friendly, equipment to avoid damaging existing landscape taking special care to remove these emergent weeds and give you back your pond. Offsite removal of debris may also be available.
