My Pond Has Green Stuff All Over It. What Should I Do?
Our expert technicians can visit your pond to assess the situation and recommend appropriate solutions to manage unwanted growth. We can either apply the recommended products for you or guide you through the application process.
Why Should I Add Aeration?
Aeration offers numerous benefits for ponds and lakes:
- Enhanced Oxygen Distribution: Breaks up thermal stratification, allowing oxygen to permeate throughout the water column, not just the surface. This promotes deeper foraging for fish and supports overall aquatic health.
- Improved Decomposition: Facilitates the activity of aerobic bacteria that decompose organic matter, reducing nutrient content and curbing aquatic vegetation growth in eutrophic ponds.
Will Aeration Eliminate Algae in My Pond?
Aeration will not directly eliminate existing algae but will reduce nutrient levels, making it more difficult for new algae to grow.
Do You Always Use Commercial Herbicides and Algaecides for Pond Treatment?
Treatment plans vary based on the specific conditions of each pond. We conduct thorough water quality testing to diagnose chemical imbalances and tailor the treatment accordingly. The use of herbicides and algaecides depends on the client’s goals—whether aiming to foster a trophy bass lake with some vegetation or manage a swimming area where excess vegetation may be problematic.
