All pond owners in the Pacific Northwest face serious challenges due to the region’s unique climate. Rapid shifts between cool, wet spells and occasional warm days can stress pond ecosystems, while heavy winter rains and coastal winds can have varying effects on water features in different locations. Due to clay-heavy soils and the Pacific Northwest’s wet, variable climate, your lovely water feature can easily become a costly headache with algae blooms, dead fish, and malfunctioning equipment if you do not perform proper seasonal maintenance. At Brookside Landscape and Design, we are aware of these regional challenges and offer comprehensive seasonal pond maintenance to ensure your water feature remains healthy throughout the year.
