Aquatic Management Services

The Lake Doctors provides water treatment services such as algae and aquatic weed control, midge control, fish stocking, natural and terrestrial plant control, muck control, non-herbicide green programs, and lake mapping – all offered with monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual management programs. These services are all designed to manage your water body for increased utility and enjoyment in an environmentally responsible manner.

Fountains & Aeration Systems

Beyond adding eye-catching aesthetic beauty to your water body, fountains help cycle your water to keep it from becoming stagnant and allow algae and bugs to flourish. Simply put, fountains add property and environmental value. Fountain size and patterns can be matched to the water body and your preference for appearance. With dozens of options for lighting, we can help you make your lake or pond uniquely yours day or night!

Additionally, The Lake Doctors installs, maintains, and repairs aeration systems that add valuable oxygen directly into the waterway. These systems promote the growth you want in marine life while helping to keep noxious algae at bay.

Erosion Repair & Prevention

Our erosion solutions leverage a heavily anchored technical mesh material backfilled by soil and overlaid with plants to stabilize the bank. The combination of anchoring and root systems ensures that your shoreline is not just repaired, it is actively regenerating through the seasons. It is literally a living shoreline!

The solution can be directly vegetated in several ways. The most common is to apply sod directly on the system to enable the root structure to grow through the mesh, locking it in place for long-term stabilization. Additionally, since the technical mesh is porous, the system provides filtering of stormwater runoff and helps remove harmful nutrients like nitrates and phosphorous, thus helping to improve the quality of the water body when installed. With our expertise, we can also combine our solution with other products to provide you with the best possible long-term outcome.
