Pond Services

We at Silver Creek advocate a natural approach to balancing a pond's ecosystem. Our approach utilizes pond colourant to inhibit plant growth, beneficial bacteria to uptake nutrients and aeration systems to provide necessary oxygen. Combining these measures properly greatly improves water quality. Surface aerators also ripple the water surface, reflecting and refracting significant amounts of sunlight - the energy source algae and weeds require.
