Water Garden Winterization
A comprehensive winterization of your water garden is the most essential task that every water garden owner must undertake prior to the onset of winter. Key considerations such as the sustainability of aquatic life and the prevention of potential freezing damage make it imperative to have your water garden winterized professionally. This proactive measure helps mitigate the risks of fish loss and costly repairs in the spring.
We offer winterization services throughout October and early November, enabling you to enjoy your water garden for as long as possible before the cold weather arrives. Trust North Shore Waterscapes to provide you with the peace of mind that comes from a complete winterization of your water garden. During a Water Garden Winterization, we will:
Disconnect, remove, and clean the pump and all biological and mechanical filtration units.
Cut back and reposition hardy aquatic vegetation and remove tropical vegetation.
Install winter water garden equipment, such as an aerator and/or de-icer to aid in keeping a hole in the ice to sustain aquatic life throughout the winter.
Treat the water garden with a fall and winter bacteria to aid in the decomposition of leaves and organic matter in the water garden.
Blow out and cap off water garden plumbing that does not fully drain by gravity.
Winter Equipment Tune-Up Service
If you have fish in your water garden, we highly recommend taking advantage of our Water Garden Winter Equipment tune-up service before the winter season begins, especially while your units are not in regular use. A yearly tune-up service is essential to ensure that your aerator, de-icer, and plumbing plugs are functioning optimally, thereby minimizing the risk of failures during the winter months when dependable performance is crucial.
