Brilliant & helpful
I can’t say enough positive things. I was very badly let down by another trader and these guys stepped in last minand saved the pond (and more importantly my fish) at short notice in the middle of a drought. Thank you so much.Verified reviewerJob location: CT1210 Pond Maintenance / Cleaning

They were great
My pond hadn't been deep cleaned for many years, i contacted Matthew at That Pond Guy , after sending him photos and measurements of the pond he gave me a price which I was happy with, an appointment was made and Charlotte and Natalie came to do the job , polite and professional during the time they were here ,explaining what they were doing all through the process. They cleaned all the mess as they went along and I am very very pleased with finished job. Definitely use this company again without a doubt.

Pond Refurbishment
We had our pond brought back to life by That Pond Guy. The pond was relined and the waterfall fibreglassed to make it usable again. The team also installed a new pump and UV filter. The work was extremely high standard and the team were very professional. They moved all our fish with care and repotted all the plants before reinstating the pond. Strongly recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: TN1310 Pond Maintenance / Cleaning

First class at every level.
Matt and his team have transformed our old concrete pond; new lining, pump and filter. Reliable, clean workers who know their stuff!! However it is their after sales care that make them stand out. Matt responds quickly to any queries and shows genuine concern that you are completely happy with any work carried out.Job location: BR6RJACKIE L10 Pond Maintenance / Cleaning

Excellent
Many many thanks to That Pond Guy and his team for restoring our garden ponds back to normal. They made an excellent job of cleaning both out and at last we can see the fish again. They were so efficient, neat and tidy in what they did for us. I would thoroughly recommend this Company and I will certainly be using them again in the future.Verified reviewerJob location: TN25
