Three ways to start, depending on where you are
From a first look at what's going on, through to sediment work and filter servicing — each stands on its own.
Back to homeFinding the right starting point
Not every pond needs the same thing. Some owners just want to know what's going on before deciding anything; others already know sediment has built up, or that the pump doesn't sound right anymore. Below are the three visits we offer — read through and pick whichever matches where your pond actually is, or get in touch and we'll help you figure it out.
The three visits
Seasonal Pond Assessment & Water Reading
A calm, on-site look at where your pond stands — clarity, temperature, pH, sediment depth and filter loading, recorded plainly.
¥2,400
- · 90 minutes on site
- · Written notes & photographs
- · No obligation to book further work
Sediment Withdrawal & Basin Rinse
Careful removal of built-up organic matter using low-suction equipment, with fish moved to a holding tank throughout.
¥3,600
- · Half day, up to 25m³
- · Partial water exchange up to 30%
- · Liner inspection included
Filtration Review & Media Refresh
A working session on pump condition, filter media and flow rate, ending with a simple maintenance calendar.
¥4,300
- · 2–3 hours
- · Pump service & media rinse
- · Measured turnover figure
How to choose
If you're unsure what's actually wrong — or whether anything is wrong at all — start with the assessment; it's the least involved and gives you real figures to work from. If you already know sediment has been building for a season or two and the water has lost depth, sediment withdrawal is the more direct route. If the pump has grown noisy or flow seems weaker than it used to, filtration review is usually the better fit. If none of this feels obvious, a short message describing what you've noticed is enough — we're glad to help you decide.

What every visit includes
· Plain-language explanation of anything found
· Photographs where relevant to what's discussed
· No pressure to book additional visits

On pricing
Prices reflect the scope described for each visit. Larger basins or additional sediment work beyond the standard scope are discussed and agreed before anything proceeds, so there are no surprises on the day.
A few questions before you decide
Do I need an assessment before booking sediment withdrawal?
Not necessarily — if you already know sediment has built up, you can book withdrawal directly. The assessment is there for when you're less sure.
What happens to my fish during sediment work?
They're moved to an aerated holding tank filled with water from their own pond, and returned once conditions have settled.
Can I book more than one visit at once?
Yes — just mention it in your message and we'll arrange the order that makes sense for your pond.
Not sure which visit fits?
Send a short description of your pond and we'll suggest a sensible starting point.
