St. Louis metroOngoing pond maintenance plans
If you'd rather enjoy the pond than work on it, a recurring plan keeps up with skimmer baskets, filters and algae before small problems turn into a full cleanout.

Signs it's time
- You enjoy the pond but not the upkeep
- Algae comes back every summer
- You travel, or you just bought a house that came with a pond
- You want spring opening and fall closing handled on a schedule
What the visit usually involves
- Emptying skimmer nets and rinsing filter media
- Trimming plants and removing string algae
- Checking pumps, UV lights and water level
- Adding beneficial bacteria or treatments as needed
- Seasonal visits for spring opening and fall closing
Every pond and every pro is a little different. The pond professional you're matched with will explain their own process and price before any work starts.
Have this ready when you call
- How often you'd like visits (weekly, every other week, monthly, seasonal)
- What equipment the pond has
- Anything you already handle yourself
Questions
How often should someone service my pond?
It depends on size, fish load and trees nearby. Some people want every-other-week visits in summer; others only want spring and fall service. Plans are set with the pond pro directly.
Do I sign a contract with STL Pond Cleaning?
No. We're a free referral service. Any plan, schedule and pricing is agreed directly between you and the local pond pro.
