Keep Your Pond Clean and Clear Year-Round

Algae can quickly turn a beautiful pond into a murky mess. At New England Aquatic Landscaping, we specialize in effective, eco-friendly algae control solutions to keep your pond clean, balanced, and thriving.

Why Algae Control Matters

Uncontrolled algae growth can:

  • Deplete oxygen, harming fish and aquatic plants.
  • Disrupt your pond’s ecosystem balance.
  • Create unpleasant odors and murky water.
    Regular algae management ensures a healthy, visually appealing pond while protecting aquatic life.

5 Effective Algae Control Solutions

1. Aeration Systems

Aeration introduces oxygen into the pond, reducing stagnant water where algae thrive. Proper aeration supports beneficial bacteria, which naturally break down excess nutrients.

Tip: A professionally installed aeration system improves water circulation and prevents algae blooms.

2. Beneficial Bacteria Treatments

Beneficial bacteria compete with algae for nutrients. These eco-friendly treatments prevent algae from dominating the pond without harming fish or plants.

Tip: Regular treatments ensure long-term algae control.

3. Aquatic Plants

Plants like water lilies and water hyacinths block sunlight and absorb nutrients that algae need to grow.

Best Picks:

  • Water Lilies
  • Water Hyacinths
  • Hornwort

4. Routine Pond Maintenance

Debris buildup fuels algae growth. Regular maintenance includes:

  • Skimming leaves and debris.
  • Checking water quality.
  • Cleaning filters and pumps.

Tip: Schedule seasonal cleanings to prevent algae issues before they start.

5. Algae Control Products

When natural methods aren’t enough, safe algae treatments can help. We use eco-friendly products that effectively target algae without harming fish or plants.

Tip: Always follow product instructions and consult professionals for stubborn algae problems.
