Ponds & Water Features
Pond management for Utah’s high country
High-elevation ponds behave differently. Short seasons, hard winters, snowmelt-driven inflows and thin margins for error mean a plan borrowed from a valley pond rarely works here. We start with an assessment — water chemistry, sediment, biology and how you actually use the water — then build a plan around what your pond needs.
Our work is guided by Integrated Pest Management: prevention and monitoring first, with chemical treatment reserved as a targeted tool. We follow Clean Drain Dry practices on all equipment so we are not moving aquatic invasive species between waters.
Recurring Stewardship
Weekly, semi-weekly or monthly visits for clarity, algae and vegetation control, and overall pond health. Starting in April gets you ahead of the season.
Harmful Algae Bloom (HAB) Treatment
Early identification and targeted, responsible treatment of cyanobacteria blooms that put residents, guests, pets and wildlife at risk.
Littoral Vegetation Management
Holding the line against succession so your pond stays a pond — open water, aesthetics and usability intact.
Pump & Aeration Assistance
Assessment, troubleshooting and maintenance of the equipment keeping your water oxygenated and healthy.
Fish Stocking
Working with licensed hatcheries to select and introduce the right species for your water, your goals and your setting.
Water Quality Assessment
Lab analysis of nutrients, pH and alkalinity, plus species identification and dissolved oxygen and temperature readings.
Pond Capacity Estimate
Sonar survey and mapping for an accurate picture of how much water you actually have.
Dredging Needs Assessment
Sediment mapping and a straight answer on whether dredging is warranted — or whether it is not.
Pre-Sale & Pre-Purchase Assessments
Buying or selling a property with water? An independent read on condition, liabilities and what it will take to maintain.
Stormwater Pond Stewardship
Capacity and sediment monitoring, water quality checks and vegetation management, with documentation ready for permit compliance.
