Pond Cleaning in Atlanta
Atlanta Waterscapes does pond cleaning in Atlanta for koi and garden ponds: full cleanouts, muck and algae removal, and filter and pump cleaning. If the water has turned green or murky, muck is piling up on the bottom or the waterfall has slowed to a trickle, a cleanout resets the pond. Call John at (770) 361-7446 to book a pond cleaning.
What a Full Cleanout Includes
- 01
Moving and holding your fish safely
We net the fish out first and hold them in their own pond water while we work.
- 02
Removing muck, leaves and string algae
We pump the pond down and clear the muck, rotting leaves and string algae off the bottom and the stone.
- 03
Cleaning the filter, skimmer and pump
The filter, skimmer and pump get cleaned so the water moves at full flow again.
- 04
Refilling, dechlorinating and restarting
We refill, treat the new water for chlorine, restart the system and put your fish back. Book a full cleanout or call (770) 361-7446.
Koi Ponds: Cleaning Around Your Fish
Koi come first on every cleanout. They wait in their own pond water out of direct sun, and they go back only after the new water is treated. That keeps a cleanout from turning into a bad week for your fish. Call John about your koi pond.
When to Clean a Pond in Georgia
Spring is the time for a full cleanout, before the fish get active and the algae takes off. In fall, a net over the pond keeps leaves out, and leaves rotting on the bottom are where most of the muck comes from. Georgia's mild winters mean most ponds keep running all year. Call (770) 361-7446 to book a spring cleanout.
How Much Does Pond Cleaning Cost in Atlanta?
The price depends on the pond's size, how much muck has built up, how many fish need holding, and the state of the filter and pump. John looks at the pond first and gives you a price before any work starts, and that visit is free. Get a free estimate for your pond.

Questions Pond Owners Ask Us
Will cleaning stress my fish?
A little, the way any change to their water does. Holding them in their own pond water, keeping them shaded and treating the new water before they go back keeps the stress short. Call John at (770) 361-7446 with any other question about your pond.
