Pond Maintenance

How We Do It

We have years of experience in the maintenance of existing pond and stream systems.

Out methods involve:
  • Environmentally friendly and effective biological products and techniques
  • 100% Natural products that are fine tuned to your unique ecosystem
  • Biological boosts in productivity to restore balance and limit unwanted algae and aquatic vegetation growth
  • Naturally clear water and high invertebrate productions resulting in beautiful water and increased size and carrying capacity of native fishes
  • Floating wetlands for sediment filtration and excess nutrient uptake
     Many people believe the only way to treat troubled pond systems, is through the use of chemical products.
     
     While these chemicals may provide a quick temporary fix to these issues, they do not provide a permanent, long term solution. They also lead to many expensive maintenance headaches down the road.

     The maintenance program involves a holistic management practice using natural products that restore balance to the water system.

     Our goals are to fine tune the water system enough to a point where future maintenance needs are minimal.
        

Products We Use

​ML Bio-Blue- 
This is a natural colorant with added liquid enzymes. Adding a blue tint to the water helps block solar penetration to limit photosynthesis, cool the water, and limit growth of any submerged aquatic vegetation. Enzymes help hold back algae growth and clear the water. 

​ML PBL 
100% organic blend of beneficial bacteria strains that will naturally improve water quality and outcompete algae growth. PBL will do a variety of things such as reduce ammonia and nitrogen levels, increase dissolved oxygen levels, and dissolve away organic sediment. It also remains effective over a wide range of pH conditions. 
ML Barley Pellets 
100% natural and organic ingredients specially formulated to naturally balance pond water and improve water clarity. These concentrated enzyme pellets will break down algae components inhibiting its growth, digest organic buildup, and improve water clarity. 
​ML Sludge Reducing Bacteria
​
This concentrated blend of heterotrophic bacteria acts at the bottom layer of the pond to significantly reduce organic buildup and deepen the pond. This allows for cooler water and less substrate for any aquatic vegetation to take root.
