Algae and weed control are vital tools in lake and pond management.  Proper product selection and concentrations will greatly influence success, and they need to be used responsibly.  There are many species of plants and algae, each requiring specific products and concentrations for proper control.

Lake and Pond Solutions, LLC is proudly a PRO Certified Stewards of Water company.  Our services for Wisconsin and Illinois lake and pond owners include a professional examination of the site by a degreed biologist to determine the type and extent of the problem vegetation. We work closely with government agency personnel and manufacturers to remain up-to-date on regulations and current technology. We obtain permits, apply the product, and provide follow-up visitations where necessary. Following each weed and/or algae treatment, customers will receive a treatment record highlighting products used, application rates, and use restrictions.

14 days after treatment
Cattails and other emergent plant growth can look great around a pond but it is important to maintain pond function and not allow unchecked growth. This selective cattail control was performed to limit spread and maintain flow.
