Golf Course Pond And Lake Maintenance Services Water features on a golf course can significantly increase the value-perceived for that specific property. Not only are ponds and streams a bonus for the golfers, the overall tranquility and appeared value of the property is increased. We've all seen those green-murky ponds on golf courses. We more-so feel the need to avoid that golf course entirely including the water feature in front of us while golfing. Yet if we have a clean, well-maintained pond, lake, or stream in front us - challenge accepted! I'd even consider jumping into some of the water features on these golf courses if the day is hot enough and the golf course pond is maintained. While these water features seem easy enough to build, and maintain - it's quite the opposite. Each pond can easily exceed a $30,000 construction cost, not including a bi-weekly maintenance fee of $1,500 - $5,000 p/month. The trade-off is simple, yet expensive and somewhat risk if you ...

Commercial & Residential Pond Resealing

19 August, 2017 Lake Pond Plants Let’s face it, losing water in your water feature is not the most ideal scenario. If your water feature empties out, your pump could seize up, or worse your fish and wildlife could suffer from lack of water. Checking Your Pond for Leaks Suspect your losing water? How much if so? How much is too much? These are questions we often receive from our clients, especially during the warmer months. Although more often than not, it’s due to evaporation. Sometimes there truly is a leak though, and when there is – it pays to know your water feature and how to go about handling an event such as a leak. Is your water feature commercial or residential? This is also an important question as both present different risks and costs to repair. Also, how old is your pond? Is the rubber liner exposed to the sun or covered by cement? Liners older than 10 years old are often not patch-able due to the lack of bonding between a patch and the aged liner. ...

19 August, 2017 Lake Pond Plants Aquatic plants can add beauty to any water feature. Although they can also invade your water feature and overwhelm the ecosystem if not managed correctly. Often neglected due to beauty, plants in your water feature should be maintained like any lawn or water garden. Invasive Water Garden Plants & Pond Maintenance Plants are classified as “invasive species” when they exceed their normal parameters and begin expanding over additional territory often resulting in damage of the ecology of an environment. Various types of aggressive aquatic plants exist including submerged plants – which grow under water, emergent plants – which typically grow along shallow ends of the water/ near the shore, and floating plants – which typically float along the surface of the water attaching to the sediment or other ground-source. All should be noted and managed on a regular basis. Hi, I am considered a “highly invasive water plant” a...
