"Everything was done perfectly. Mark responded to my call and quickly got the necessary new pond skimmer. Installation was done very professionally and on a very timely basis. I've been relying on Pond Doctor for several years now and have always had an outstanding experience. I highly recommend them for all pond maintenance needs."

"I'd previously asked Backyard Ponds to clean and net my ponds the last week in September. I called the Friday before to find out when they could come, and they agreed to send their workers on Monday. They team arrived on time. They were pleasant and professional I walked them through what I wanted them to do. It was a complicated job; there were three ponds, and each pond required different care. The team went to work right away. They spent most of the day on the effort, breaking only for lunch. When they were done, I inspected the ponds. The only thing I had to ask them to do was put a net over the waterfall on one of the ponds. The fish they handled were in good condition after the cleaning. The workers left no debris on the job site. The company sent the bill in a timely manner, listing labor and materials so I would understand the charges. I would happily use them again!"

"Their job exceeded my expectations! They were thorough and very professional. Did a great job cleaning up and returning the area to a better condition than it was in when they started. I felt the price was very reasonable!!!"

"Great experience with excellent service and results. Although a tough week to schedule a task such as this, with all the rain days. My concern wasn’t based on timing as much as quality of finished product. Stephanie demonstrated excellent customer service by maintaining continuous communication as to schedule updates. Her crew was courteous, efficient and thorough. The results are outstanding and I will definitely be using Aqua NoVa Restoration for future project needs."

"We used Salt Creek Gardens 5-6 times over the past year, so the cost estimate above adds together all the projects.  Our back yard needed a complete makeover (starting with removal of forsythia which had taken over half our back yard, replacement of sod, and entirely new shrubs on 3 sides of the back yard).  We also needed considerable work done on our front lawn (reconstruction of a slate walkway, improving runoff of rain water away from the house, tree trimming, and driveway resurfacing).  They power-washed the house, sanded and resealed our deck, and did some window-cleaning.

We were completely satisfied with the work done by Salt Creek Gardens.  The owner, Brian Wiggins, was very pleasant to work with, always punctual, and kept a careful eye on the progress of his workers.  He always had good reasons when he suggested specific improvements, such as planting only shrubs that did not attract deer, which are a problem in our Colesville (Montgomery County) neighborhood.  His crew were always punctual, pleasant but never obtrusive, and very hard-working.  They didn?t seem to take many breaks, and several times they kept working until nightfall to get the job done. (Many of his workers have worked for him for many years, which is a good sign).  The quality of the work seems to be high, and our front and back yards and exterior of the house haven?t looked this good since we moved into the neighborhood almost 40 years ago."

Aquarium Services FAQs, answered by experts

Needing to pump the tank as soon as it “looks” full is a common myth about septic systems, as wastewater will eventually drain into the leach field. Instead, it’s better to determine how many solids have accumulated. A septic maintenance technician near you can test this to find out whether pumping is necessary.

Yes, it is possible to pump a septic tank too frequently. The ideal pumping schedule varies based on the tank's capacity, household size, and water usage. Pumping the septic tank more often than recommended can cause the beneficial bacteria to leach into the drain field, leading to an imbalance and a build-up of solid waste.

Yes, experts handle manual pumping, chemical flushing, and equipment use properly, ensuring thorough cleaning and legal compliance with disposal regulations.

Slow drains, gurgling sounds, or foul odors can indicate septic issues. Regular inspections help identify when pumping is necessary to avoid overflow.

A leach field can take several days or weeks to dry out, even with help from additives designed to improve bacterial activity and promote draining. Because of the risks to health and the potential for wastewater to run off into drinking water sources, it’s better to hire a pro to fix a saturated drain field than try to wait for it to dry out.
