Transform Your Pond This Autumn: Why Now’s the Best Time for a Professional Clean or Refurbishment
As autumn arrives and leaves begin to fall, many garden ponds start to suffer from murky water, sludge build-up, and tired filtration systems. If your pond’s looking dull or struggling to stay clear, autumn is the perfect time to book a professional pond cleaning service in Devon or Cornwall.
Whether you’ve got a large koi pond, a garden wildlife pond, or an ornamental water feature, a thorough pond clean and maintenance visit now will keep your water healthy right through the colder months.

Why Clean Your Pond Before Winter?
Throughout summer, organic debris like leaves, algae, and fish waste accumulate at the bottom of the pond. As this material breaks down, it releases gases and nutrients that can lead to:
- Cloudy or green water
- Foul smells
- Poor fish health
- Pump and filter blockages
By scheduling your pond cleaning before winter, you’ll prevent these problems and protect your fish and filtration system. SAS Aquatics offers pond cleaning across Devon and Cornwall, helping homeowners, landowners, and estate managers keep their water crystal clear.
Pond Refurbishment and Repairs
If your pond liner is leaking, your stone edging has collapsed, or your filtration system isn’t keeping up, autumn is the best time to act. Our pond refurbishment service includes:
- Replacing or relining damaged ponds
- Installing modern filtration systems
- Improving circulation and pump efficiency
- Re-edging and landscaping around your pond
- Redesigning overgrown or outdated ponds into low-maintenance wildlife ponds
We carry out pond refurbishment in Devon, Cornwall, and across the South West, combining technical expertise with ecological design.
The Benefits of Autumn Pond Maintenance
Autumn offers ideal conditions for pond work — plants are dying back, temperatures are cooler, and aquatic life is less active. This means less stress for fish and a cleaner, quicker process.
Our team also advises on autumn pond maintenance, including leaf netting, pump servicing, and filter cleaning, so you start spring with clear water and a balanced ecosystem.
Sustainable Waste Disposal
All organic waste, sludge, and old vegetation are safely removed or composted on-site where possible. We always check whether there’s somewhere suitable nearby for disposing of organic waste, helping to reduce our environmental footprint.
