Pricing Pond Maintenance Services

see it on your your website uh and it says pond maintenance on your trailer, you know, the easy stuff, and they reach out to you and they say, "Hey, I have a pond that I would love for you to clean it out. How much does it cost?" Well, that is a loaded question that you got to be careful of, right? I can answer that in a very easy, quick, simple terms. A well-maintained aquacape ecosystem pond that is cleaned out generally comes to almost about $4 a square foot, Mr. Mrs. Jones. But before you agree to that, there's a lot of information that I need because I did not build it. So, I'm going to ask you a series of questions over here and on the phone. The first of which is do you have a picture of it and do you have a video of it that is recent because I would like to see what condition this is? I would like to see uh how many trees are around it. The details will help you judge if we're going to take this to the next stop step and do an investigative consultation. So let's say they agree to say okay I'll send you a picture. It hasn't been maintained in a few years. Then that might take me down a different avenue and I'll say, "Okay, was it professionally built or did you build it with your own blood, sweat, and tears?" Which I highly commend there. And they'll tell me one way or the other. If it's a professionally built pond, I'm thinking in my head, "All right, so now I'm generally dealing with a biological filter. I'm generally dealing with a skimmer, a pump that is protected." Uh, if it's a DIY pond, whoa, look out. really do your homework, right? Because unless you're going to charge uh a consultation, which we recommend you do, uh before you drive out there, you want all the nuts and bolts about it before you agree to do it. So, quickly, if they can get you a video and they can get you a picture and you ask if it's built by a professional or a DUI, and finally, when is the last time it was cleaned out professionally? And did you winterize it? Did you put a net over it right
