What We Do:

We take an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach to aquatic weed management and regularly design Best Management Practices (BMPs) to protect and preserve aesthetics and water quality.

We have helped numerous clients control invasive and non-native aquatic plants in lakes, reservoirs, ponds, canals, and storm water conveyances. Water primrose, water hyacinth, sago pondweed, parrot feather, hydrilla, filamentous algae, Eurasian watermilfoil (milfoil), duckweed, curly leaved pondweed, coontail, cattails, bulrush, Brazilian elodea, azolla (mosquito fern), and American pondweed are among the problem weeds for which we design management solutions.
