Maintenance plans · Richmond, VA
Jordan's Water Garden Solutions offers three pond maintenance plans for Richmond, Henrico County, Chesterfield County and Charlottesville: Platinum VIP with biweekly visits, Gold with monthly visits, and Bronze with seasonal visits. Jordan Blanton, an Aquascape Certified Contractor, quotes every plan after he has seen the pond. Plans bundle visits that start at $275 each; single visits are listed under pond cleaning and maintenance.
$275a visit, to start. Plans are quoted on your pond.
Who a plan is for
A maintenance plan is for the homeowner who wants to sit by the pond after work with the fish coming up to the edge, and does not want to think about the skimmer basket. You bought the pond for the sound of the water and the look on the grandkids' faces. The upkeep was never the point.
It is also for the pond that has gotten away from someone. Green water by June, string algae on the rocks, a waterfall slowed to a trickle because nobody rinsed the pads. A plan puts Jordan on the pond on a schedule, so the small jobs happen in May before they turn into a rescue in August.
And it is for koi keepers, who have fish worth protecting and know that the water will tell you about a problem before the fish do. Every visit on every plan starts with a look at the fish and a water test.
Every visit
The same work on every plan. What changes between the plans is how often he comes and what equipment comes with it.
Three plans
Plans bundle visits that start at $275 each. Spring clean-outs start at $925 on their own; fall netting or a fall service visit from $725. Every plan is quoted on your pond, after Jordan has seen it.
For koi ponds, ponds under trees, and anyone who wants the water clear every week of the season.
Biweekly visitsEvery two weeks through the season
Quoted after Jordan sees the pond.
For the pond that needs a steady hand once a month, with the dosing system working in between.
Monthly visitsOnce a month through the season
Quoted after Jordan sees the pond.
For the smaller pond, or the owner who is happy to empty the skimmer and wants the big jobs handled.
Seasonal visitsSpring, mid-summer and fall
Quoted after Jordan sees the pond.
Not sure which one? Say so in the calculator or on the call. Jordan matches the plan to the pond, and it is easier to step up or down after a season than to guess now.
How a plan is quoted
No two ponds cost the same to look after, so there is no price list for plans. A 200 square foot koi pond with twenty fish and a maple over it is a different year's work from a small water garden in the open with four goldfish, even on the same plan. Jordan quotes a plan after he has stood at the edge of yours.
The estimate calculator or a call. Roughly how big, how many fish, and what has been going wrong.
Jordan measures the pond, looks at the fish load, checks what grows over it, and goes through the skimmer, the filter and the pump. That is what sets the number.
A plan matched to the pond, Platinum VIP, Gold or Bronze, with the equipment it needs listed. Jordan sets the terms on the quote.
A plan that starts in spring opens with the clean-out. One that starts mid-season opens with a service visit to get the pond back in shape.
Outside the plan
A plan covers the scheduled visits and the equipment listed on its tier. Repairs and upgrades are quoted separately, usually on the visit where Jordan finds the problem. A pump that fails is pump repair and replacement. A level that keeps dropping is leak detection and repair. A fountain bowl, a wetland filter or a skimmer added to the pond is a pond upgrade, priced on your consultation call.
The upside of being on a plan is that Jordan already knows the pond when something does go wrong, and often spots it before you would have. The rest of what he does, as single visits, is on the pond cleaning and maintenance page.
Questions
Anything else, ask Jordan on the call.
Yes. Jordan's Water Garden Solutions starts maintenance plans in Richmond whenever the pond needs one. A plan that begins mid-season opens with a service visit to get the pond back in shape, and the spring clean-out and the fall netting fall into place in their own seasons.
Jordan sets the terms on the quote, after he has seen the pond, so the length of the plan and how it is billed are on paper before anything starts. Ask Jordan's Water Garden Solutions on the consultation call and the answer will be specific to your pond in the Richmond area.
Then book the spring clean-out on its own. It starts at $925 from Jordan's Water Garden Solutions in Richmond and does not need a plan. Fall netting or a fall service visit from $725 and service calls from $275 are single visits too.
Yes. The Bronze plan from Jordan's Water Garden Solutions includes fall netting and a fall service visit, along with the spring clean-out and a mid-summer tune-up, for ponds across Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield and Charlottesville.
Yes. Jordan's Water Garden Solutions puts ponds built by other contractors, or by a previous owner of the house, on maintenance plans across the Richmond area. The site visit tells Jordan what the pond has and what it is missing, and the quote reflects that.
