Property Owners and HOA Communities
Clear, healthy community lakes and ponds, with a plan your board and residents can follow.
Property Owners and HOA Communities
Keeping your community lake an asset
For homeowners associations and private owners, the lake or pond is often the centerpiece of the property. When algae, weeds, odors, muck, geese or mosquitoes take over, it quickly becomes the most common complaint.
We start by finding what is actually driving the problem, then build a management plan around your goals and budget.
Your board receives one annual management proposal that lists what we will do, how often we visit and one price for the year, paid monthly. After each season you get a short report the board can share with residents.
Keep dogs out of water with scum, discoloration or streaks that look like spilled paint until it is tested. Toxic algae can kill a dog quickly. Learn about harmful algae blooms.
Common challenges
What we help with
Algae and weeds
Surface scum, filamentous algae and nuisance plants that block use and views.
Muck and odors
Organic sediment that shrinks depth and releases odors and nutrients.
Geese and waterfowl
Birds that foul lawns, docks and shorelines and add nutrients to the water.
Mosquitoes and midges
Mosquitoes and midges breeding in stagnant water and decaying organic material.
Overgrown shorelines
Cattails and reeds that close in open water and trap sediment.
Safety and liability
Cyanotoxin testing and advisory guidance, so the board knows when to close a swim area or warn pet owners. See the Harmful Algae Blooms guide.
