ABOUT THIS LOCATION
Pond Maintenance in Columbus, OH
Our Columbus office on Transamerica Drive handles pond and lake work across the central Ohio area, from weed and algae treatment to fountains, aeration, and fish stocking. Our biologists look at the waterbody before recommending anything, because what shows up at the surface is usually downstream of a nutrient or oxygen problem, and treating only what you can see tends to buy a single season. This is also a retail location, so products and Fish Days pickups happen here.
Pond and lake services in the Columbus area
Most central Ohio properties end up using some combination of the following. If you are not sure which applies, that is what the site visit is for.
Fountains and aeration. Fountains and aeration covers selection and installation, the surface aeration program, fountain leasing if you would rather not own the equipment, ongoing fountain and aeration maintenance, and fountain winterization before the water gets cold. If you are weighing options, 4 Styles of Aeration compares them.
Weed and algae control. Algae and aquatic weed control for filamentous and planktonic growth, cattail control and removal along the shoreline, invasive weed control where a non-native species has moved in, and mechanical weed removal where physically pulling the material out beats treating it.
Fish stocking and fisheries. Fish stocking, fish population surveys to find out what is in there before adding more, habitat installation, and ongoing fisheries management.
Water quality. Nutrient reduction and water quality and clarification address the nutrient load driving the growth rather than the growth itself.
Shoreline, sediment, and stormwater. Riprap and shoreline weed control, shoreline renovation, dredging when sediment has taken the depth, liner installation, and stormwater pond management for detention and retention basins with compliance requirements.
Retail, products, and Fish Days pickup in Columbus
This is a retail location. Pond and lake products can be picked up here Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
Fish Days are scheduled pickup days for stocking fish, running 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. If you are stocking a pond and would rather collect the fish yourself than schedule a delivery, that is what these are for. See the Fish Days schedule for current dates, 3 Ways to Buy Fish if you are deciding between pickup, delivery, and a stocking plan, or About Fish Deliveries if delivery is the better fit.
Who we work with in central Ohio
We work with private landowners with a single pond, community associations and HOAs managing shared water features, corporate campuses and office parks, golf courses, hospitality and retail properties, and municipalities. The right plan looks quite different across those: an HOA detention basin carries compliance obligations a backyard pond does not, and a corporate campus pond is usually judged on how it looks from the building.

We have five other Ohio offices: Miamisburg, Cincinnati, Bowling Green, Medina, and Streetsboro. The full list is on our locations page.
Fish Days: 10 AM to 2 PM
FAQs
Yes. Our Columbus office on Transamerica Drive covers pond and lake maintenance across the central Ohio area: weed and algae control, fountains and aeration, fish stocking, water quality work, and shoreline and sediment services. Most properties begin with a site visit and a free estimate so the plan is built around the specific waterbody.
It depends on what is making the pond look bad, which is why the assessment comes first. Surface algae and floating weeds are a treatment question. Muck and lost depth are a dredging question. Cloudy water is usually a water quality and clarification question, and shoreline erosion is a shoreline renovation one. Several of those often apply at once.
Yes to both. We handle selection and installation, leasing if you would rather not own the unit, ongoing maintenance and repair, and winterization before ice season. 4 Styles of Aeration is a good place to start if you have not chosen a system yet.
Our construction-side work is focused on existing waterbodies — services like liner installation, shoreline renovation, dock installation, wetland planting, and dredging. If you're planning a new pond or excavation project in the Columbus area, reach out to our Columbus office to talk through the specifics.
Yes. Columbus is a retail location, open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and Fish Days run 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM on scheduled dates for stocking fish pickup. Check the Fish Days schedule for dates, or 3 Ways to Buy Fish if you are weighing pickup against delivery.
