Pond Cleaning for Phoenix Arizona (AZ)
Annual cleanings begin when the last danger of frost has passed, which is technically the end of February. However, we have been known to begin cleanings as early as January. It depends on what Mother Nature throws at us each “winter.” If you’re interested in doing it yourself, you can follow these simple Annual Cleaning Instructions. We also host an annual DIY Annual Cleaning Seminar every year at our office and showroom in northwest Peoria, AZ. Check our Events page for postings.

which pond cleaning do i need?
Basically, if you can clearly see the rocks on the bottom of your pond, then a filter cleaning is all you need. However, if you look into your pond and see a smooth bottom, filled with mulm, then you need to schedule a drain & clean. If we have never seen your pond before, we'll need to do an exploratory drain & clean.
How Much Will it Cost and How Long Will it Take?
We have a minimum charge for both services, which includes the hours needed for most ponds. However, we don’t know how you’ve maintained your pond. If you’ve kept your plants in hand via trimming & thinning, it will take a lot less time that if you’ve let the plants get out of control, or haven’t drained & cleaned it in several years.
Our minimum charge for a filter cleaning is $300, which includes up to 2 man hours on site. Man hours are calculated as per man, per hour. Additional man hours on site are charged at $150 each.
Our minimum charge for a drain & clean is $900, which includes 6 man hours on site. Additional man hours on site are charged at $150 each. Man hours are calculated as per man, per hour. Why doesn't this service include 8 man hours on site? Because with a drain & clean, there is extra time involved in the set-up and clean up process. Ideally, this service should be performed when the water is cold, to avoid stressing the fish.
An Exploratory Drain & Clean is more extensive, and is necessary if we've never seen your pond before. Our minimum price for an exploratory drain & clean is $1500, which includes up to 10 man hours on site. Additional man hours on site are charged at $150 each.
