Aquatic Weed Control


Whether your waterway is used for recreation, storm water retention, irrigation, or for aesthetic purposes, a professional aquatic management program should be implemented.

Freshwater systems can be impacted by development, storm water runoff, pollution, and the introduction of exotic plant species. Essentially, many aquatic plants will become a nuisance if left to grow uncontrollably. They can inhibit recreational use of your waterway, clog irrigation lines, decrease water retention capacity, harm fish populations, and decrease property values.

Furthermore, the introduction of exotic (non-native) plants has been particularly challenging in the state of Florida. Our year-round semi tropical climate has allowed many exotic species to spread out of control without any "natural" enemies that may be found in their native habitat. The detrimental end result is a reduction of native beneficial aquatic plants. Some exotic nuisance species (Native to South America, Africa, Australia and Asia) that often invade our freshwater systems include; hydrilla, water hyacinths, water lettuce, torpedo grass, alligator weed, melaleuca, Brazilian pepper, and even Chinese tallow.
