There are a few reasons why your pond might be green, including lack of water circulation and full sun exposure.

There are ways to get rid of algae, including increasing water circulation and cleaning the edges with a soft brush.

A biological filter is a filter or a place where bacteria live. This bacteria is good for the environment and helps turn fish waste into something that isn’t harmful.

Pond pumps help circulate the water in a pond, preventing stagnation and providing oxygen to fish. If you have more than one pump, you don’t need to have them all running at the same time as long as each pump circulates half of the total gallons in your pond every hour.

If you want a clear pond without any debris, you should use a mechanical filter. If you have fish, frogs, etc., you will also want to have a biological filter to keep them safe from toxic ammonia.

Barley straw helps to increase the biological filtration system in your pond and also combats algae blooms, including the nasty string algae.

I would highly recommend Charlotte Backyard Ponds. Working with TJ was a pleasure. He is very professional and knowledgeable. He listened to what we wanted and then went about creating a pond that was beyond what I could have imagined. I will let the picture speak for itself, we couldn't be more pleased.

We had a great experience with Charlotte Backyard ponds!! We had recently moved into a new home with a run down pond. There was a lot of maintenance and fixing up that needed to be done and they did an amazing job. Installed a new waterfall, pump and filtration system for us. They were very professional and easy to work with. So excited to relax by our new/improved pond! Highly recommend using their services.

DEF use this Company. keep up the good work👍🏽Here are some before and after pics.

I would 100% recommend TJ and his team. Professional, easy and fast communication, knowledgeable, exceptional work, and you can tell he really loves what he does. Our project was to dismantle a large koi pond that we inherited when we moved in. He knew exactly what to do with all the materials (to prep for a landscaper) and the wildlife - taking the extra care to capture some small tadpoles and a large bullfrog that he wanted for his own backyard! I will definitely be calling TJ again when we look to install a new water feature. He does more than just ponds! Call him!
