When should I turn my pond pump off for the winter?

• <div><p>When deciding whether or not to turn off your pump, you should consider your area’s climate and the aquatic life in your pond. If you live in an area with freezing winter temperatures and don’t have any wildlife, keeping your pump on could damage it. If you have aquatic life but live in a colder climate, you might consider keeping your pump running and adding a pond heater.</p></div>

How do I keep my fountain water clean?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/fountain-maintenance-take-care-your-garden-fountain.htm">Fountain maintenance </a>is an important part of having a clean foundation in the first place. To keep your fountain water clean, you can use a water additive designed specifically to limit scale, algae, and other buildup in fountains. Or opt to use white vinegar as a pantry-ready water additive.</p></div>

What is the difference between a seep and a spring?

• <div><p>Seeps and springs form when groundwater reaches the earth’s surface. The main differences between them are the amount of water and the flow rate. Seeps are smaller than springs and consist of water that’s stagnant or flows slowly. Springs contain more water and flow more quickly.</p></div>

How long does it take to fill a pond?

• <div><p>Small ponds can be drained and filled in about a day. Larger ponds will take two or three days for professional removal.</p></div>

How do you care for a koi pond?

• <div><p>Though there are a lot of factors that go into caring for a koi pond, the most important maintenance you can do is frequent water checks using a koi pond test strip that checks the water for dangerous conditions. In addition to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pond-maintenance-cost.htm">regular pond maintenance costs</a>, you’ll also need to winterize your koi pond if you live in a colder area.</p></div>

We are a family owned business and we grow all of our own annuals and perennials on site. We also have a one of kind glass building filled with hand made unique gift items. Along with all that we have an extensive woody nursery and farm market.

"We had hired a tree service company in the fall to cut down old tree and remove stump. Although they guaranteed the stump was removed, it was NOT. Cody and his helper (didn't get his name) were amazing! They worked for hours chopping out the stump. They were hard working, polite, professional, informative, friendly...I cannot say enough about these two young men. It is great to know that work ethic still exists. Would definitely recommend Quality Gardens"

Quality landscaping is not just about making sure that the grass is cut. Landscapes help aid the mood we wish to set each time our eyes feast upon the scenery. The quality of what surrounds us can be minipulated to each of our personalities. At Quality Landscapes we try to provide a design and maintenance service that serves as the best interpretation of our clients desired ambience.
