Pond maintenance goes beyond surface appearance, as the health of your pond depends on what’s happening below. Organic matter like algae, leaves, and fish waste accumulates at the bottom, decomposing into a nutrient-rich muck that fuels algae growth, aquatic weeds, and even leeches. Left unmanaged, this muck layer can lead to significant surface problems and ecological imbalances. Our guide helps you identify common algae and submerged weeds, choose effective solutions, and apply treatments correctly. Additionally, we provide a simple 4-step program to eliminate muck, control aquatic nuisances, and keep your pond clear and thriving.

Drip irrigation is an efficient and effective watering method that delivers water directly to plant roots while minimizing waste. It offers numerous benefits, including reduced evaporation, less fungal growth due to minimal water on leaves, and precise water delivery to avoid over- or under-watering. Drip systems prevent surface runoff, are less affected by wind, and conserve water by targeting only the root zone. Additionally, they help avoid soil compaction and can be buried or left above ground, making them suitable for year-round use.

Japanese beetles are a pest to hundreds of different species of plants, doing damage to both turf and foliage. Grubs live in the soil and feed on the roots of grass and other plants. When adult Japanese beetles begin to emerge, they feed on the leaves and flowers of trees and shrubs, causing considerable damage. It's important to know the lifecycle of Japanese beetles, as the wrong product at the wrong time can be a waste of money and effort.
