Free Estimate — Call or Text 717-379-3248Aquatic herbicide applications require different products, different label restrictions, different applicator certifications, and additional permitting depending on the water body and what's downstream. Hiring an unlicensed applicator to spray products into a pond can result in fish kills, regulatory violations, and contamination of nearby waterways. We're licensed for aquatic applications and we know when a job needs a permit and when it doesn't.
Filamentous algae, planktonic algae (green water), and chara. We identify the type, treat with the appropriate aquatic algaecide at the right water temperature, and recommend long-term management.

For larger ponds or featured assets — spring algae prevention, summer weed control, fall preparation, and ongoing monitoring. Most pond problems are easier to prevent than to fix once severe. HOA or commercial property? See our community pond & retention basin programs.
For pond owners who want a living ecosystem, not a sterile water feature. We design plans that allow controlled algae growth (typically 10–20% surface coverage) and treat bottom muck with beneficial bacteria. The goal: enough plant life and biological activity to support fish, frogs, dragonflies, and turtles — without runaway weeds. A different mindset than "kill everything for clear water" pond management.
