OUR REVIEWS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How often should a pond be cleaned?
+
Cleaning frequency depends on pond size, fish load, filtration, and debris. Many ponds benefit from a full cleaning once a year, often in spring, plus lighter seasonal service. Fitz's Fish Ponds assesses your pond during a consultation and recommends a cleaning schedule that keeps the water clear and the ecosystem healthy without over-servicing.
What does pond maintenance include?
+
Routine pond maintenance covers water testing for ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate, debris removal, filter and pump checks, plant care, and a fish health review. Fitz's Fish Ponds builds each visit around what your pond needs that season, then shares a service report with recommendations so small issues are caught before they become bigger problems.
When should I winterize my pond?
+
Pond winterization is guided by water temperature, not air temperature, and usually begins in fall. As the water cools, fish feeding changes and equipment may need adjusting. Fitz's Fish Ponds monitors these seasonal transitions and handles fall netting, cleanups, and winter prep so your pond and fish are protected before the first hard freeze.
How do you test pond water quality?
+
Healthy pond water is tested for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, and other key levels that affect fish and plants. Fitz's Fish Ponds checks these during service visits and explains what the results mean for your pond. Consistent testing helps catch water quality issues early, which supports clearer water and a more stable environment for koi.
Do you offer emergency pond service?
+
Yes. Fitz's Fish Ponds offers emergency support for urgent pond and water feature issues, from sudden equipment failures to water quality concerns. If something goes wrong with your pond, contact us and our team will help you determine the next steps. Reach out by phone or online to discuss your situation.
What is an Annual Contract Membership?
+
The Annual Contract Membership is a year-round care plan from Fitz's Fish Ponds. Members receive priority booking and seasonal service to keep their pond healthy through every season. Bundling maintenance and service into a membership may also qualify you for discounts. Contact us to learn what a plan would include for your pond.
Can you service large ponds and lakes?
+
Yes. Beyond backyard ponds, Fitz's Fish Ponds offers large pond and lake management, including aeration, fountains, and proactive care rather than only reacting to algae and weed problems. We tailor a management approach to the size and goals of the water body so it stays healthy and attractive over the long term.
Do you service ponds you did not build?
+
Yes. Fitz's Fish Ponds services and maintains ponds and water features regardless of who originally built them. We start by learning about your pond, often through a consultation, so we understand its equipment and history. From there we recommend the cleaning, maintenance, or repairs that will get it performing its best.
