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.

As aquatic specialists we are well positioned to provide support as a third party. Assisting professionals to provide a pond or water feature that works perfectly within the overall project.

We often work with builders, garden designers landscape architects and landscape gardeners where they would be the main contractor on a project that has either a pond or water feature as part of the construction. We either undertake this part of the works as a sub contractor or consult and oversee. Consult and oversee means that the main contractor would usually undertake the main constructional tasks under our guidance. We would compliment these works by providing and installing the aquatic specific parts of the project.

These are the two main guises but we are keen to support in the most fitting role. Should you be working on something at the moment and feel we could be of use we are always happy to discuss your plans over the telephone so you can understand how we can help.
