Questions & Answers

Here are some commonly asked questions about Down To Earth Landscape & Irrigation.

At Down To Earth, we install the following water features:

  • Ponds
  • Fountains
  • Waterfalls

While specific maintenance depends on the type of water feature, there are some general maintenance tasks for all kinds of water features.

  • Skim the water surface of leaves and debris weekly to prevent them from building up and polluting the water.
  • Trimming the plants around the water feature will also help in controlling this.
  • Clean out equipment like pumps and filters to prevent clogging and maintain their efficiency.
  • If there are living organisms in the water feature, test the water weekly to ensure the pH balance and the right chemical composition are maintained.

Running water will not attract mosquitoes. Make sure to run water fountains regularly because constant water movement does not allow mosquitoes to lay eggs and breed. Stagnant water, on the other hand, is the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes. Running a water fountain for a few hours in rotation every day should be enough to prevent mosquitoes from residing in or near a water feature. Another way to prevent mosquito infestation is to frequently clean out the water fountain. This can be done by a fountain cleaning solution and then draining out the water. This removes any existing larvae and prevents algae and fungus growth.
