Maintaining The Banks
There is more to maintaining your pond than controlling the pond weeds and algae. The banks should be well planted with trees and grass but be kept clear. Maintaining water purity may also require controlling any runoff with the help of:- Grading
- Embankments
- Tiling
- Diversion ditches
Safer & Cleaner Banks for Activities
Our pond bank clean up services also make it safer to spend time near your pond. Whether it is a fishpond or not, most people engage in some kind of activity around their water features. Maintaining the banks can provide you greater peace of mind when engaging in any form of activity. When you invite friends, many would like to know how clean the pond edge is. Besides, you would not take your kids to a pond that is all grown up with weeds.We can spray an herbicide toward the land to kill all unwanted weeds and briars. This is followed by mowing or weed-eating the dead debris for a completely clean look. If we find wax myrtles around the pond, we will cut them down. Once we have removed them, we can also apply a stump killer herbicide to prevent it from regenerating new sprouts. Else, it will grow back to the same height.
