There is one sound way to make certain that your pond makes it safely to 2020, ask Ponds North West for winter pond protection!
During the next three months we can expect to experience winter weather at its worst with ice and snow until crocus time when spring will begin.
Meanwhile, our garden ponds need protection from the worst of the cold conditions. Existing ponds and newly installed ponds need to be cared for because frost and extreme cold weather can damage the fabric of the pond, plastic liners become rigid and brittle in extreme cold and more solid liners can crack.
Pumps and water features require attention as pipework and electrics may be affected by frost, and water ingress. Older and poorly constructed garden water features also pose potential problems that may need professional help to resolve.
Generally garden pond plants will over-winter and you will only need to plant some new plants for 2020. Maintaining your garden pond weed free is a task best left to the experts, depending upon the size of the pond. Careful removal of weeds and wind-blown debris – which will block water pumps and fountains if left is important. Because there are slip risks involved it is better to ask the experts at Ponds NW to do the work for you as part of regular planned maintenance.
Should your garden pond contain fish, koi carp or goldfish, you may need to cover the pond with netting and seek advice on how to deal with them when the water in the pond becomes a block of ice. Valuable fish require correct handling to ensure their survival!
