Spring Pond Cleaning Services and Spring Pond Start-Up Services
​ Morris County, NJ

PictureClick button to get on the list!
Spring is simply the most exciting time of year. As things slowly awaken from their winter hibernation, there are some things that you can do to make sure your water feature gets off to a good start this spring, as part of your pond maintenance this should include performing a full spring pond clean-out or a spring start-up.

Does your water feature need a full spring pond cleaning this season or does it just need to be tidied up a little? There are a couple of things that you can look for to help you decide. First, if there is a layer of “crud” at the bottom of the pond and the water is dark in color, it would be a good idea to do a full clean-out.  On the other hand, if there is just a small amount of debris that you can stir up and capture with a net and the water looks clear, a little tidying up is all that’s in order and a spring start-up will suffice.

Platinum Spring Service: (Full Pond Cleaning)
If you’re new to the hobby you may be asking yourself, What is a Full Spring Pond Cleaning?  
(The Platinum Spring Service can be included in your Maintenance Membership)

​Below is an outline of what we do for our Platinum Spring Service:
1. FIRST  (and most importantly!) get your name on the Full Pond Spring Clean-out list. We service dozens of water gardens beginning when the ice thaws, so waiting is NOT our best option! 
2. We will call or email you (from the info you provide on the info form) prior to your clean-out to confirm exactly what services and products you will require.
3. On clean-out day, be sure to have your garden hose outside (and the water turned on!), waterfall pump(s) and other components readily available and your water garden electrical outlet turned on.
4. A Frog’s Dream Aquatic Services will now get crazy with your water feature! We will drain the water (temporarily housing the fish if you have them). The next step is to give the water feature a quick pressure washing and rinse (we don’t want to remove every bit of the beneficial Bio-Film). Once washed down we will trim back aquatic plants, check and replace underwater light bulbs or fixtures, re-adjust rocks & gravel, clean filters, perform pump maintenance cleaning,  and finally install the waterfall pump.  When all of this is finished, we will add dechlorinator to the water, begin refilling the water feature (and re-introducing your fish if you have them).  an initial dose of Pond Starter bacteria will be added to aid in getting the pond ready for the season.  

5. If your water garden includes a pond with fish, upon finishing your clean-out we will refill the pond with enough water to re-introduce your fish.  YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FINISHING THE FILLING PROCESS AND PLUGGING IN THE WATERFALL PUMP (so that we don’t have to charge you to stay there while your pond fills)


How much does a Platinum Spring Service Cost?
Our Platinum Spring Services are based on the size of pond and other factors.  The Platinum Services start at $775.00 for a pond up to 8×11, $1000.00 for a pond up to 11×16, and $1250.00 for a pond up to 21×16.  For a free quote please click here and submit our quote request form

Gold Spring Service: (Spring Start-up)
What is a Spring Pond Start-up? (Our Gold Spring Service)
(Gold Spring Service can be included in your Maintenance Membership)

There is one main difference between our Gold Spring Service and Platinum Spring Service,   We don’t drain the pond and power wash it.  Other than that we perform many of the same services during a start-up as we do on a full spring pond clean-out which include:

Washing filter pads or replace if needed, Replace U.V. bulb if applicable, Clean waterfall of leaves and sticks, Trim aquatic plants, Reconnect pump and start up filtration system, Perform pump maintenance cleaning, Check pond lights and replace bulbs if needed.  We will also get your pond up and running for the season by adding an initial dose of Algaecide, Flocculant and Sludge Bacteria.

​If you don’t need a Full Pond Clean-Out, this service is sure to get your pond off to a great start in the spring.  In addition we offer a Spring Start-up Service for Pondless Waterfalls.

How much does a Gold Spring Service Cost?
Our Gold Spring Services are based on the size of pond and other factors. The Gold Spring Service starts at $575.00 for most ponds up to 16×21, and pondless waterfalls and fountains start at $500.00 .  For a free quote please click here and submit our quote request form.
