We bought a house with a pond in the dead of Winter. We actually didn't realize that there were fish in the pond until our walk through the day before closing when the previous owner told us. It's a big pond and needed a cleanout, new pump, filters, and lots of TLC. We found Aaron and Proud Ponds online and he has done our Spring Cleanout two years in a row. Has repaired numerous things, found leaks, and been there to provide advice. If you need a friendly professional, hire Proud Ponds. Less
