FAQs

Why is regular pond and dam maintenance important?

Ponds and dams contain delicate ecosystems that can quickly become unbalanced if left to their own devices. Pond maintenance is crucial for preventing excessive levels of aquatic weeds from building up and clogging aeration systems. Excess algae also affects the oxygen levels in water systems, so needs to be removed periodically. It also reduces the chances of having to deal with costly repairs in the future.

How does a beachroller work?

Beachrollers are essential for maintaining the base of a pond or dam by ripping out weeds and other nuisance plants by their roots, preventing them from growing back. All you need to do is roll it along your water system’s base where weeds and sludge are causing problems, and it’ll do the rest.

What are the benefits of a lake bottom blanket?

Lake bottom blankets act as a barrier between aquatic weeds that grow on the bottom of your water system, and sunlight. By blocking sunlight, weeds are starved of the energy they need to grow. They are easy to maintain and will not require much active attention.

How often should I use maintenance tools on my pond or dam?

This is dependent on your own circumstances and levels of weed growth. You can commit to a regular maintenance schedule every few months, or use the tools whenever you notice patches of heavy growth (likely to be more during the spring and summer months).
