Large Pond Clearance & Maintenance in Norfolk
Overgrown Pond in Scarning, Dereham
At ABBCO, we were recently called to a property in Scarning, near Dereham, where a large garden pond had become completely overrun with Water Soldiers (Stratiotes aloides) and Elodea crispa. The pond, over 10 feet deep in places, had likely never been properly cleared — blocking sunlight, reducing oxygen levels, and stalling the natural balance of the ecosystem.
“We just moved to a house with a large pond that looked like it had never been cleaned. My husband and I were clueless where to begin and contacted Morgan. Morgan was so helpful and knowledgeable. He has done a fantastic job — we would highly recommend using ABBCO.”
Our Approach to Large Pond Clearance
Our team carried out a comprehensive pond clearance, carefully removing invasive aquatic plants. By opening up the water surface, we restored UV penetration all the way to the pond bed — a key step in reactivating healthy biological activity and supporting the return of native wildlife.
When sunlight reaches the lower layers of the pond, it jumpstarts natural filtration and encourages beneficial microorganisms to thrive. This helps stabilise oxygen levels, improve clarity, and promote the growth of healthy, oxygenating plants.
Why Pond Maintenance Matters
Regular large pond maintenance like this is essential for keeping water bodies across Norfolk in good condition — especially in older or deeper ponds where invasive species can quickly take over. It not only enhances the look of your pond but also ensures a thriving habitat for fish, frogs, and other aquatic life.
