Professional Spring Pond Cleaning & Maintenance Services in Morris County, NJ   
Including Passaic, Essex, Union and Bergen County

Your Pond Is Waking From Its' Winter Slumber And It's REALLY CRANKY!

Just like a bear coming out of hibernation, your pond is tired of the cold weather and SOMEBODY wants to EAT!  That somebody is ALGAE and its' food source is nutrients that have found their way to the bottom of your Morris, Passaic, Essex, Union, or Bergen county  area pond since the Autumn months. Atlantis Water Gardens in Denville, Morris County NJ offers professional spring pond cleaning and maintenance services to make your life easier when maintaining your water feature. 

Pond Filtration Is Completely Ineffective In Cold Weather Months

Your filtration is completely ineffective in cold weather months so dead leaves, sticks, fish waste and other wind blown debris have had lots of time to decompose and transform into sweet, sweet pond sludge while you haven't been paying much attention to your frozen backyard paradise (It was too freakin' cold to go out there in my slippers and Superman pajamas!). A majority of water feature owners are coming out to their favorite aquatic sanctuary to find that they now have wall to wall carpets of algae in their fish's underwater living room and they're realizing that this won't be a simple "Plug In The Pump and it's Waterfall Time!" type of deal.

Every Water Feature Needs Cleaning Sooner Or Later!

Don't sweat it! Everybody's got to do some sort of Spring Cleaning and that includes Mother Nature. Winter snow melts flush out natural bodies of water, sweeping away a lot of the "Yucky Stuff" that accumulates over the Winter in natural ponds.  Backyard pond owners don't have that luxury with our closed ecosystems, so it's on us to get in there and kick a little pond scum butt!​​
​

Time To Get "Down & Dirty"!​
​You've got 2 choices in this deal:

 1. Kiss that new manicure goodbye, 'cause "Algae is a color that really goes with my eyes" and you're doin' this thing solo!
 
OR​    

2.  It's time to pick up the phone and call the "ROCK STARS" from  Atlantis Water Gardens  and we'll gladly do battle with the "Green Beast" in your backyard escape, 'cause we eat algae for breakfast! (well, sometimes it does get in your mouth when pressure washing...  

                 

So, Number 2 It Is....Wise Choice...

Depending on what type of water feature you have, there are a few ways you can go:​

FULL OR PARTIAL POND CLEANING

​The usual Spring Pond Maintenance process in New Jersey minimally involves partially cleaning your pond by disassembling and thoroughly cleaning your filtration system. Most ponds have some type of skimmer filter and a biofalls (waterfall) filter, so those will need to have all the components removed and washed at the very least. After a long, hard winter, most people opt to have the entire pond cleaned to remove all of the decaying organics that have collected in the pond. Which option you choose depends on the state of your water feature.
