All pond owners can benefit from having a site visit. A site visit is
when a trained and experienced professional comes to your pond for a
hands on inspection and evaluation. The site visit should be the first
step taken to manage your pond, weather you plan to do the majority of
the work yourself or hire everything done. Below is a rough outline of a
