Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Renovating a Pond or Lake? New property, old pond. What to do?

The thick vegetation you see might be aquatic plants like water lilies or cattails, common in ponds. Draining the pond and assessing the situation sounds like a good first step. Once cleared, you can consider introducing fish like perch and bass. Before proceeding, it's a good idea to consult with a local pond expert or biologist. And it's actually great that you have a pound; it sometimes gets additional points when evaluating the house. At least my friend, whose house was surveyed by https://www.sjonessurveying.co.uk/, says so. I hope that my comment helps you!
