Restore The Beauty And Health Of Your Pond

Over time, ponds and water features can accumulate debris, algae, and organic waste, turning crystal-clear water into a murky, unhealthy environment for your fish and aquatic plants. Algae growth, decaying leaves, and sludge buildup not only detract from the beauty of your pond but can also create imbalanced water conditions that stress koi and other pond fish. Our expert pond cleaning services are designed to restore your pond’s clarity and health, ensuring it remains a stunning centerpiece of your landscape.

At Garden Ponds Unlimited, we specialize in comprehensive pond cleaning, koi pond cleaning, and waterfall cleaning to remove debris, address algae issues, and revitalize your water feature. Annual cleanings are essential to maintaining a balanced and thriving ecosystem, keeping your pond free of harmful toxins and safe for your fish.

Whether your pond has become dirty and cloudy or you’re looking to prepare it for the changing seasons, we have the tools, knowledge, and expertise to bring your pond back to life with crystal-clear water and a healthy environment.

What Our Pond Cleaning Clients Say...

Just had my pond clean out done, they were very careful with my fish, gave me a free owners manual, and tips on how to better care for my fish! My pond looks amazing! Thanks to them!

I was a little bit weary of using Garden ponds unlimited for my clean out because they charge by the hour instead with a bid like the other Pond companies. but in the end it was cheaper and just as good of a job

Frequently Asked Pond Cleaning Questions

Here are questions we're commonly asked about pond and water feature cleaning

To maintain optimal water quality and a healthy ecosystem, ponds should be cleaned at least once a year. Annual cleaning helps remove debris, sludge, and algae that can build up over time. For ponds with heavy fish loads or those prone to debris, more frequent cleanings may be necessary. At Garden Ponds Unlimited, we recommend scheduling your cleaning in fall or winter to prepare your pond for seasonal changes.
