Excess sediment is one of the most common problems in ponds and lakes. As organic matter, runoff, and eroded soils accumulate, they create sediment trouble zones that reduce depth, fuel algae blooms, and disrupt aquatic balance. Identifying these hig...
Microcystis, a common cyanobacteria, often thrives in nutrient-rich ponds and lakes. It creates unsightly surface scums and, in some cases, produces toxins harmful to humans, pets, and aquatic life. Without professional care, blooms can return each y...
As temperatures drop and aquatic activity slows, fall becomes one of the most important, and often overlooked, seasons for pond and lake care. A proactive approach now can prevent costly problems later, such as algae blooms, shoreline erosion, or win...
When it comes to sustaining healthy lake and pond ecosystems, proper aeration is a fundamental management tool. Aeration helps increase dissolved oxygen, improve water circulation, prevent stratification and support muck degradation, all while suppor...
Stormwater ponds are more than just attractive water features, they’re critical infrastructure for HOAs, businesses, and municipalities. These systems manage stormwater runoff, reduce flooding risks, and protect downstream water quality. Because they...
Each fall, vibrant leaves transform shorelines into scenic landscapes, but when those leaves reach the water, they introduce hidden risks for lakes, ponds, and stormwater systems. Decaying leaf litter is a major contributor to nutrient loading, a pro...
At Water & Wetland, we understand that ponds and lakes are valuable resources for communities, commercial properties, golf course and parks. They aren’t just beautiful landscapes—they also provide stormwater control, recreation, and long-term pro...
If your pond feels shallower, murkier, or harder to maintain, it may be time to consider lake and pond dredging services. Over the years, ponds collect sediment, organic matter, and nutrient-rich muck from stormwater runoff and shoreline erosion. Thi...
Taking care of a pond can be incredibly rewarding, especially when it’s healthy, clear, and supports native aquatic life. But when weeds take over, algae blooms explode, or fish start dying off, the stakes rise fast. For property owners, HOAs, and la...
Cattails are a common and often beautiful sight along ponds, lakes, and wetlands. They provide critical habitat for birds, amphibians, fish, and insects. However, when invasive species like Narrowleaf Cattail (Typha angustifolia) and Hybrid Cattail (...
