Water Garden Winterization
A comprehensive winterization of your water garden is the most important task every water garden owner must complete before heading into winter. With important considerations including aquatic life sustainability and potential freezing damages, it is critical to have your water garden comprehensively winterized to avoid the risks of fish loss and costly repairs in the spring. Winterizations are offered throughout October, allowing you to enjoy your water garden as long as possible before the cold weather hits. Let North Shore Waterscapes provide you the reassurance you need with 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.
If you have fish in your water garden, we recommend utilizing our Water Garden Winter Equipment tune-up service prior to the winter season while your units are not in regular use. A yearly tune-up service helps ensure your units are in good working order while reducing the potential for equipment failures in the winter season when reliable performance is critical.
