The suppression of symptoms does not mean the disease is cured. Same goes for ponds. Excessive pond weed and algae growth is a symptom of a pond or lake that is out of its natural balance.

We are adding the service of bottom contour mapping to our offerings. Also known as topo maps or bathymetry, the information contained in maps such as this can be very valuable to any pond owner in determining how to manage their water.

Also added, is the FisHiding product line which is an amazing fish habitat structure. Using various construction materials destined for the landfill. It keeps our earth greener while creating a fishing structure that will not rot or decompose over time. It quickly becomes part of the pond ecosystem with fish of all size using it for their life cycle.

Our network includes a close partnership with All Things Water who has over a decade of experience in all aspects of pond management and specialize in large scale aquatic plant harvesting and dredging using the Aquamog pictured on the right. This unique dredge can reach many areas not available to long reach excavators, removes solid material with very little water and only needs one access point to complete the work while leaving 99% of the shoreline untouched.


An active member of the Midwest Aquatic Plant Management Society mission is to promote sound and appropriate technologies for the management of aquatic vegetation, provide opportunities for the educational advancement of its members and encourage relevant scientific research. Among others.

Also and active member of the North American Lake Management Society whose mission is to forge partnerships among citizens, scientists, and professionals to foster the management and protection of lakes and reservoirs for today and tomorrow.

We also have a network of related businesses such as Heartland Habitat. Specializing in terrestrial land management that naturalizes an area to increase the beauty and draw in wildlife. This will make your pond even more attractive and stabilize the land surrounding the water. Dense plant growth around a pond absorbs nutrients before they even enter the water and reduces aquatic plant growth and algae blooms. Pictured below are examples of how their services tie in with ours.
