Pond netting is sometimes needed in the Union, Rockford & McHenry, Lake, Dupage, Kane  & Cook County Illinois (IL) Areas when excessive leaves have the potential of making their way into your pond. If your pond is in the direct vicinity of large trees then you will want to consider netting your pond. In the Chicagoland (IL) area this needs to be done before the first frost or usually sometime in October. Fall netting is an easy process.  A net is stretched across the pond and anchored with rocks and/or pins.  It is best not to have the net resting on the water surface since it will be difficult to remove with all the debris on it.  Once all the leaves have fallen then the net is removed for the winter.

Part Of Fall Preparations is Adding a POND AERATOR

Every process that happens in the pond is dependent on oxygen. This is especially important at night when plants are not converting sunlight into oxygen. Dissolved oxygen levels are also generally lower in warmer water temperatures. Pond aerators oxygenate your pond, helping all biological processes and create a more stable environment, resulting in healthier fish and plants. Aeration is also very important during winter months in colder climates, as aeration helps to keep a small hole open in the surface of the pond to aid in degassing.

Pond Plants Pruning for Fall

Fall Pond Netting & Maintenance Services Contractor

​In the Fall your pond plants are thriving from their summer growth. However, soon the winter freezes will cause all that beautiful lush foliage to turn brown and ugly. If left unattended to this foliage will die and fall into the pond causing excessive mess and eventual cleanup in the Spring. Therefore, Frontier Ponds recommends pruning all pond plants to within 1 inch of the water surface. This process should be performed after the first frost or sometime in October November.
