Sunshine Land Management Corp’s Pond Maintenance Services

Ponds, vegetation, and fountains all need regular attention to function properly. At Sunshine Land Management Corp, we tailor our services to match the unique needs of each pond or stormwater system.

Look to us when you need:

Trash Removal: Removal of household debris, (anything that will fit into a contractor garbage bag). Removal of trash is necessary in order to insure that discharge structures and Stormwater Management System Components do not become obstructed by floating and submerged debris. Herbicide Treatment: Littoral Zone Herbicide treatment (Algae is treated separately, as needed, as a change order to the contract). Herbicide Treatments are necessary in order to insure that excessive vegetation levels in the pond are controlled in order to maintain the permitted capacity. Occasionally it may be beneficial to establish and or maintain a littoral planting area in the pond for water quality improvements and control.

With these services, we help property owners like you protect both the function and appearance of their ponds while maintaining compliance with stormwater permits.

How Does Tailored Pond Care Prevent Costly Repairs?

Tailored pond care focuses on the unique conditions of each system. A plan that accounts for water quality, vegetation, and structural components keeps ponds working as designed and reduces the risk of unexpected failures.

When ponds are maintained on a schedule that matches their needs, small concerns stay manageable. This proactive approach helps property owners avoid major breakdowns, protect water quality, and extend the life of the entire stormwater system.

Why Are Water Quality Tests and Pond Inspections Essential for Stormwater Management?

Water Quality Monitoring: Monitoring PH, Dissolved Oxygen, and Turbidity levels (additional water quality analysis may be requested). This is necessary in order to insure that the State water quality standards are being achieved, as well as insure the viability of the ponds aquatic habitat is being preserved.

Visual Inspections of Stormwater Management System: Monitoring the condition of the discharge structures, mitered end sections, documenting erosion, and vegetative cover. This necessary in order to insure that the system is functioning as permitted and may lead to a more in depth analysis.

How Often Should Water Quality Testing Be Done?

Without testing, it’s easy for hidden problems to go unnoticed until they cause visible damage. For stormwater ponds, water quality should be tested at least quarterly, though some sites benefit from monthly checks. Regular testing allows us to identify issues early and correct them before they compromise compliance or system health.
