ALDAPE SPRINKLER'S WATER FEATURE PAGE

Water Feature Construction

There is something special about the sound of water trickling, falling and splashing on rocks or in the water itself. The look and sounds of waterfalls, ponds, fountains and water features
 create a relaxing escape from the hectic, noisy world of everyday life.

Water features are an ideal focal point in a rock garden.  They enhance the naturalistic feel and add another element of interest. 

Rock garden plants can be tucked along water's edge as well as along the slopes and niches created in the construction of the water feature. Low Voltage Outdoor Lighting can be used to make your water feature look even more spectacular.











Water features such as garden ponds, creeks, and garden fountains are pleasing additions to a landscapes design, because they provide a 

diversion from just plain plant scenes. Nothing can quite transform a landscape like a water feature. It relieves the monotony of the garden features and provides accent that makes the garden or landscape interesting.

Whether it's a dramatic waterfall or a quiet pond, water works its magic on any garden, providing a focal point and an area that soothes the soul. Moving water provides delightful background music and mask traffic noise, making even an urban patio a restful retreat.

Let us decorate your home with the simple yet sophisticated elegance of water features and transform your home into a habitat for enjoyment by family and friends.

Water Feature Maintenance

In choosing to include a water feature in your landscape, you have invested a considerable amount of money on your fish pond or water feature. While it does not require a great deal of time or energy to maintain them, there are certain things that must be done each spring and autumn. As well, there some things that should be done periodically during the growing season -- from April thru October.

That is why, in addition to designing and installing, we also offer maintenance services for Koi ponds, natural waterfalls, Goldfish ponds, small and large natural water features, Pedastols and urns, natural landscape streams, small ceramic containers, large formal fountains, and just about any water feature you can imagine!


At Aldape Sprinkler Service Landscape & More we recognize that you may not have the time or inclination to work on your own Water Feature. Because of this, Aldape offers the a variety of maintenance options to simplify your life and ensure your enjoyment of your new pond or water feature.

If you would like further information about signing up for year-round water feature maintenance services, contact us at: (208) 841-8901 or complete our service request form on our contact us page.

SPRING SERVICE:

Most ponds and water features require an annual cleaning and water change in the spring. During the autumn and winter, leaves and other organic matter fall into the water and sink to the bottom and begin to decompose. To ensure fish health and water quality, it's a good idea to have the pond drained, scrubbed and refilled in the Spring. A Spring cleaning usually takes the better part of a day. This service includes:

  • Drain and clean the pond and refill
  • Check water quality, PH and ammonia levels
  • Check fish health
  • Check aquatic plants and move to the proper level, fertilize, and divide if necessary.
  • Check the pump and clean the volute
  • Check and clean the skimmer
  • Start the biological filter
  • Start the UV Sterilizer
  • Check the auto-fill valve, lights, and other plumbing

    GROWING SEASON SERVICE:

    During the growing season between April and October it is important to periodically test the water quality, fertilize your plants, check your fish for signs of sickness, and clean your pump, volute, and biological filter. For growing season service, most customers find satisfaction in signing up for bi-weekly or monthly maintenance visits. Maintenance visits are billed by the hour and usually take just one hour a visit. Growing season service includes:

    FALL MAINTENANCE SERVICE:
    Towards the end of October, as the water temperature drops to 50 degrees, your biological filter stops functioning as the bacteria dies off, and your aquatic plants start to die back. Dead organic matter dropping to the bottom of the pond creates an anaerobic environment that releases gasses that can become toxic to fish. To ensure better water quality and to preserve your investment, certain tasks need to be done. The fall visit is billed by the hour and usually takes two or three hours. Fall maintenance services include:

  • Check water quality, PH and ammonia levels and adjust where necessary
  • Check fish health
  • Cut back aquatic plants, clip and trim dead plant material, prepare plants for winter.
  • Check the pump and clean the volute
  • Check and clean the skimmer
  • Clean the biological filter, drain and store for winter
  • Drain and store the UV Sterilizer
  • Skim the pond and remove as much dead organic plant material as possible.
  • Lift the pump to winter height (When practical)
  • Net the pond to collect falling leaves. (When practical)
