Pond Maintenance

Werbrich’s Landscaping’s Pond Maintenance Plan

Werbrich’s charges a $50 trip charge to visit your pond and assess minor pond issues such as light bulbs, filters clogged, pump issues, power supply issues etc. In the past we have often waved this fee. Due to rising fuel costs we will no longer be able to wave this fee. If you are signed up for a full year’s pond maintenance plan you will not be charged this service charge between maintenance visits.
