Pond & Water Feature Service

A pond is a pool with rocks. We service both.

Most pond trouble is equipment trouble wearing a costume. Green water, a quiet waterfall, a skimmer that will not keep up, behind almost every one is a pump, a filter or water chemistry that needs attention. Ponds and waterfalls run on the same machinery as swimming pools, and that machinery is what we work on all day. Plenty of pond maintenance searches end at landscapers who stop at the waterline; we service the equipment and the water.

Whether you need a one-time pond cleaning that takes the feature back to the liner, or scheduled pond maintenance that keeps it clear season after season, we handle skimming, netting, sludge and muck vacuuming, pond water treatment for algae and clarity, and every pump and filter in between. Serving Seattle, Bellevue, Kirkland, Renton, Redmond, Sammamish and Edmonds.

  • Pond cleaning, debris removal and sludge vacuuming
  • Pond pump and filter repair and replacement
  • Koi-safe water treatment and algae control
  • Waterfall, stream and fountain repair

Retention & stormwater ponds

Retention pond maintenance for HOAs and commercial properties.

A neglected retention pond announces itself: cattails closing in, algae mats, a sediment shelf at the inlet, mosquitoes, and eventually a letter from the county after a stormwater inspection. Most HOAs and property managers do not have anyone whose job it is to watch that pond, until it becomes a violation with a deadline.

We put retention pond maintenance on a schedule instead: trash racks and outfall structures cleared, vegetation and algae controlled, debris removed, and every visit documented, the same way we run our commercial pool accounts. One vendor, clean records, no surprises at inspection time.

  • Inlet, outlet and trash-rack debris clearing
  • Algae and vegetation control
  • Scheduled visits with service records for inspections
  • Retention pond management plans for HOAs and property managers

"ASA Pools & Hot Tubs is bar none the best service we've ever had on our architectural and somewhat complicated dual pond and waterfall water feature. We have all the equipment of a pool but with greater structural complexity."

Questions, answered

Pond and water feature FAQs.

How much does pond cleaning cost in Seattle?

It depends on the size of the pond, how much muck and debris has built up, and whether the pumps and filters need attention at the same time. A light seasonal tidy costs far less than a full drain-and-clean on a neglected pond. We look at the feature, then give a clear written quote before any work starts. Call (206) 202 1454 for a free quote.

What is a retention pond and who is responsible for maintaining it?

A retention pond is a stormwater basin that collects runoff from nearby streets, roofs and parking lots and releases it slowly. In Washington the property owner, HOA or commercial site typically owns the maintenance: keeping inlets and outlets clear, controlling vegetation and algae, and keeping records for stormwater inspections. We handle that work on a schedule so the pond stays functional and compliant.

How often should a pond be cleaned?

Most backyard ponds do best with one full cleanout a year, usually in spring, plus regular skimming and filter care through the season. Around Seattle the other key visit is autumn, when leaf fall can bury a skimmer in days. Ponds with heavy fish loads or lots of overhanging trees may need more frequent attention.

Can you clean a koi pond without harming the fish?

Yes. Your koi are moved into aerated holding tanks filled with their own pond water while we wash rocks, vacuum muck and clean the filtration. We use koi-safe products only, refill with dechlorinated water and re-acclimate the fish gradually before we leave.

My waterfall or fountain stopped running. Can you fix it?

Usually, yes. Most silent waterfalls and fountains come down to a clogged intake, an airlock or a failed pump. We diagnose on site, clear or repair what we can, and when a pump is done we replace it with one sized to the height and flow of your feature.

Do you repair and replace pond pumps and filters?

Yes. Pond pump repair and replacement, pond filter cleaning and rebuilds, UV clarifiers and the plumbing between them. It is the same equipment skill set we use on pool pads every day, applied to ponds and water features.

Do you maintain retention ponds for HOAs and commercial properties?

Yes. We run scheduled retention pond maintenance and management for HOAs, property managers and commercial sites across the Seattle area, with every visit documented so you have records ready when an inspection comes.

What is a pondless waterfall and do you service them?

A pondless waterfall recirculates water from a gravel-covered underground basin instead of an open pond, which makes it low-maintenance and safe for small kids. We service them: basin cleanouts, pump repair and replacement, leak checks and flow tuning.
