Triangle Pond Management

When you have a fountain in a pond, no matter if it is there for aesthetics or aeration and circulation, it is important to have a maintenance schedule for cleaning and upkeep. Without regular maintenance, the fountain float can start to grow algae that can be unsightly and a nuisance. The same algae can grow over the lights on the fountain making them appear as though they are not working. Also, algae can hide issues such as cracks or missing parts that keep the fountain functioning properly and afloat.

If you need to clear a large area of land on your property, utilizing a forestry mulcher is a fast and efficient way to do so. These machines are capable of cutting, clearing, shredding, and grinding vegetation to make quick work of overgrown areas.

Spring is here and the Wildlife Team at TPM is gearing up for planting season. We will have a variety of wildlife seed available in our retail store for the spring. Now is the time to get a plan together for wildlife food plots.

Small but mighty, aeration systems provide numerous benefits that improve your pond’s ecosystem. While an aerator or fountain may not seem like much from the shore, what they are doing underneath the surface significantly impacts the pond’s function and appearance. Read on to learn more about the benefits of an aeration system in your pond.

We are proud to once again be a part of the annual Dixie Deer Classic held at the NC State Fairgrounds from March 4th-6th.

A client with the Executive Mansion reached out to us regarding a neglected waterfall on their property. The waterfall was a focal point for the landscape but had become severely overgrown and was leaking. The Triangle Pond team cleared the surrounding area of overbrush and debris and then disassembled, rebuilt, and extended the waterfall to allow a greater field of view.

One of our clients recently contacted us to remove a large amount of debris that had accumulated in front of the primary spillway at one of their ponds. By the time they called us, the built-up debris had raised the elevation of the pond by 8″ – 10″ causing it to back up into the residents’ yards.

Deer season is over, and most hunters put away their rifles to chase waterfowl or look forward to the spring turkey season. Even though it’s winter, there are still many opportunities for Triangle Pond Management’s Land and Wildlife Management Services Division to help you make improvements on your property for better deer hunting next fall.

Fall and winter is the optimal time of the year to have us add lime to your pond. Liming is important in ponds since the proper water pH is 6.5 to 9.0, much higher than that needed in terrestrial systems. Low water pH can reduce and later stop fish reproductive success, and dramatically high or low pH can cause fish kills. Liming ponds will adjust the pH and alkalinity so that fertilization will increase pond productivity, increasing fish production by about 300% and improving water quality for fish.
