Garden & Pond Top Tips

Control Weeds This is the one pond problem everyone has to face. There are five kinds of aquatic plants-algae, floating, emergent (foliage above the water), submersed (most of the plant is under water) and floating leaved. Some plants are desirable. Plankton algae is a source of food and oxygen. Filamentous algae is that green slime draped over your hook. (It's not good.) There's a tipping point when weeds begin to take over a pond, says Ian Menzies, business manager for Imas Aquatic & Garden Services. The pond has to be constructed carefully, or in a short time "you get a wetland," notes Menzies. IMAS sells a line of aquatic products to manage nuisance and exotic weeds and algae.

If you tend your own pond make yourself known to us.

The services we provide can work in many ways. One way is to provide support to non-regular clients, who tend their own ponds. This would often happen when something urgent needs to be carried out. To enable us to help you in the most efficient manner, make yourself known to us.

We will visit your pond and photograph it, take details of capacity, manufacturer, inhabitants and equipment specification. And should you ever need us, we can react properly, ensure we have the right spares on board, pre-empt the position from past experiences and your communication.

There is no cost for this service, just peace of mind on your behalf. Coupled to this you can pass our details on to friends or family when you go away and should there be a problem whilst you are away we are at hand and able to help.
