This pond in St.Albans Hertfordshire required cleaning to get it back to its former self. The pond had been completely over run by an array of aquatic plants and it was hard to see any water let alone the fish.

The pond was completely emptied with all aquatic life, fish newts and frogs being kept in temporary holding for the day while the pond was emptied. Years of pond sludge was removed and put on the flowerbeds.

The Majority of the plants were composted however some were re-potted, new additions of deep water plants and water lilies were also added. A new pump was added to provide a nice fountain and supply water to a small waterfall. The pond was re-filled using some of the old pond water and the wildlife and fish slowly acclimated to their new pond.
