As many of you are aware, municipalities have become increasingly stringent with regard to enforcement of deficient conditions, they will no longer accept at the time of the annual stormwater control measure (SCM) inspection (Formally referred to as BMP). One particular hot button item that is heavily scrutinized by all municipalities is the presence of a stabilizing, hardy perennial vegetative cover in and around the SCM. Unfortunately, many of the annual inspection dates fall at a time of year that is not conducive to the establishment of a perennial (or permanent) vegetative cover from seed. With this being said, vegetative repairs performed during compromising seasons of the year (i.e. summer or winter) require repeat applications indefinitely, leaving the soil unarmored and subject to erosion for a good portion of the year. This results in increased cost burden and liability which most property owners and managers would prefer to eliminate.

During this time of staying home, it is more important than ever that we enjoy our outdoor spaces. At Triangle Pond Management, we not only create and maintain ponds, but we help beautify them as well. Our pond landscaping professionals have years of experience creating outdoor gardens that are not only aesthetically pleasing but are also easy to maintain.

Our design experience now conforms to all CDC guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19. We teleconference, use email to show rendered drawings, and will always maintain a minimum of six feet apart during any limited interactions with our homeowners. Allow us to beautify your pond with an outdoor garden! Fill out our online contact form or call (919) 398-3221 for a free estimate today!

We are proud to once again be a part of the annual Dixie Deer Classic held at the NC State Fairgrounds from February 28th-March 1st. 

Our Kid’s Fishing Rodeo is returning for another year of kids catching fish all weekend long. Our onsite pond is stocked with fish including an albino catfish and a large Crappie! All children that participate will receive a prize, but if you catch the albino catfish or large Crappie, you receive a Triangle Pond Management fishing lure and a squishy fish!

Triangle Pond Management recently performed a nuisance vegetation treatment at Hillridge Farms. We treated duckweed and azolla which can be very invasive and take over a water body if left unchecked. With thousands of visitors coming through, we definitely want to keep their ponds clean and aesthetically pleasing. At Triangle Pond Management, we specialize in treating aquatic vegetation safely and effectively. Contact us today for help keeping your water clean and clear.

Triangle Pond Management recently had the opportunity to partner with The Albemarle Sound Delta Waterfowl Chapter and The NC Wood Duck Program to install some of our wood duck boxes and nesting tubes at The Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. The program aims to have over 300 nesting houses installed at the refuge by 2021, making it the largest monitored nesting site on the east coast.

The Dixie Deer Classic was held this past weekend and we want to thank all those who came out to the NC State Fairgrounds for the show. We were blessed with the opportunity to host the Kids’ Fishing Rodeo and ended up having over 750 kids participate in the fishing. Many of these kids were able to catch their very first fish and all left with a smile. We will be reaching out to those that left contact information at our booth and hope we can help you fulfill any of your pond management needs.

Come see Triangle Pond Management at our booth at the Southern Farm Show Wednesday, January 30th through Friday, February 1st from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm each day. The show is located at the NC State Fairgrounds and admission is free. The show exhibits a variety of agriculture and land management services. Bring the family and come talk to us about our wildlife management services, fisheries management, fish stocking, and general pond management/stormwater services.

This winter is a great time to add lime to your lake or pond. Water in ponds reflects the quality of the soils in which they are located. Most ponds in the southeast region have low levels of total alkalinity, total hardness, and low pH values. Having poor water quality in a fish pond means the overall fish production is slowed. Liming is an important method for correcting many of these water quality issues, as well as helping to improve fish productivity.

With the deer season in North Carolina coming to a close, and spring around the corner, prudent hunters and landowners are reflecting on their season and how to improve their deer hunting success in the following year. Whether the goal is larger antlers or a healthier overall herd, mineral supplementation through the winter months into the spring can have a positive effect on your deer.
Triangle Pond Management carries Trophy Rock all natural mineral licks. These products contain the trace minerals needed by bucks growing new antlers. Does producing fawns will also benefit from mineral supplementation for gestation and lactation. Contact Triangle Pond Management today for your mineral supplement needs.

Fall Cleanouts

• With fall arriving, fall clean outs are always a necessity.
• With the colder temperatures fall becomes one of the safest times of the year to transfer fish.
• Cleanouts are recommended at least once a year as a preventive.

Pond Netting & Dome

• Pond Netting helps insure the safety of your fish from predators.
• Netting also keeps debris and leaves out which helps the pond stay clean, clear and healthy.
• With this net you will spend more time enjoying the pond and not fetching leaves and limbs out of it.

De-Icer / Aeration

• With the temperatures rapidly, dropping the de-icers are here to help.
• The de-icer helps increase oxygen for the safety of fish.
• When the water freezes over all the gases from decaying material becomes trapped, which can sicken or kill your fish.
