Long Island's Pond Cleaning Specialists
Here's something most people don't know about Angelo: pond cleaning is actually where it all started. Before building hundreds of ponds across Long Island, Angelo spent years mastering pond maintenance and cleaning — that's the foundation the entire business was built on.
What that means for you is simple: when Angelo or his team cleans your pond, you're getting the same expertise that goes into building them. We don't just skim the surface — we do the job properly so your pond stays healthy between visits.
We service ponds we've built and ponds we haven't. If you have a pond on Long Island that needs attention, call us.
Our Pond Cleaning Services
Spring Pond Cleanout
The most important maintenance of the year. After a Long Island winter, your pond accumulates debris, sludge, and decaying organic matter that can make water quality crash fast as temperatures rise. Our spring cleanout includes draining the pond, pressure washing rocks and liner, removing sludge and debris, cleaning all filters and pumps, inspecting equipment, treating the water, and restarting the ecosystem safely — including returning any fish that were temporarily relocated during the cleaning.
Fall Pond Shutdown & Winterization
Properly winterizing your Long Island pond protects your fish, your pump, and your entire system from freeze damage. We prepare your pond for winter by removing pumps and filters that can't handle freezing, installing de-icers where needed, trimming aquatic plants, applying beneficial bacteria treatments for winter, and leaving your pond in the best possible condition for spring.
Mid-Season Pond Maintenance
Between spring and fall, ponds benefit from regular maintenance visits — filter cleaning, skimmer basket emptying, water quality testing, algae treatments, plant trimming, and pump checks. We offer mid-season maintenance on a scheduled or as-needed basis across Long Island.
Algae Control & Water Quality Treatment
Green water, string algae, and murky ponds are the most common complaints from Long Island pond owners. We diagnose the underlying cause — whether it's filtration issues, excessive nutrients, too much sun, or an imbalanced ecosystem — and fix it properly. We use safe, fish-friendly treatments and make adjustments to filtration and plant balance for long-term results.
Filter & Pump Cleaning
A clogged biological filter or underperforming pump is usually the root cause of poor water quality. We clean and inspect all mechanical and biological filtration components, test flow rates, and identify any equipment that needs repair or replacement before it causes bigger problems.

We Service Ponds We Didn't Build
A common question we get: "Can you service a pond installed by another company?" Absolutely. As long as we can safely access the pond and it's built with standard materials, we can clean, maintain, and often repair it. We've seen every type of pond build on Long Island — good and bad — and we know how to work with all of them.

Pond Cleaning FAQs
How often should a Long Island pond be cleaned?
At minimum, once per year in spring. Most pond owners on Long Island benefit from a spring cleanout, one or two mid-season visits, and fall winterization. Ponds with heavy fish loads, lots of surrounding trees, or older filtration systems may need more frequent attention.
How much does pond cleaning cost on Long Island?
A standard spring cleanout for a residential pond typically runs $400–$900 depending on size and condition. Mid-season maintenance visits are generally $150–$350. We provide a firm price after reviewing your pond — no surprises.
Will cleaning disturb my fish?
We take every precaution with your koi and fish during cleanouts. Fish are carefully netted and held in a temporary tank with proper aeration and water conditioner while we clean, then returned safely once the pond is restarted. We've done this hundreds of times — your fish are in good hands.
Do you clean ponds in the Hamptons?
Yes — we provide pond cleaning and maintenance services across the Hamptons including Southampton, East Hampton, Sag Harbor, and Bridgehampton. Many of our Hamptons clients have seasonal maintenance agreements with us so their pond is always in perfect condition when they arrive for the season.
