Kristen and Tara couldn't have been more knowledgeable and delightful. I hadn't done anything with my pond for five years after another service "cleaned" in and it wasn't until recently I figured out why the water kept turning green within days after cleaning and refilling the pond--the other service had disconnected the UV filter. At any rate, they were able to quickly confirm my suspicion, order a replacement filter (since it had been so long ago, the gasket had deteriorated), had it installed within a few days and *viola* clear water. I also requested they plant some plants of their choice and I doubt I could be more pleased. Yesterday, I bought 10 of the 4-5" standard koi, 10 snails and 10 tadpoles which I tempered overnight and released this morning. Today, I bought 6 of the 6-8" standard koi and when I mentioned the water was tad cloudier, it was suggested perhaps the fish are eating the plants--I'll keep an eye on that, introduce more beneficial bacteria and test the water in a day or so--hopefully, it's just the pond settling in. I will not hesitate to recommend DC Ponds--outstanding professional and friendly service!

Two charming ladies worked hard all day and knew what they were doing. They answered many questions and solved problems with pumps, plumbing, and vegetation. I am grateful to have found them.

Details: Outdoors • Fountain • Pond • Filters need to be replaced • Pump is broken • Spring maintenance - clean-out as weather gets warmer • Fall maintenance - winterization or winter shutdown

After 17 years, our pond had way too much sludge in the bottom and a few plants were overgrown. Tara and Kristen did a great job cleaning it all out, which was time consuming and messy. The end result was a super clean pond that made our fish and plants very happy!
