PHOSPHORUS MITIGATION
Phosphorus mitigation is the process of reducing excess phosphorus levels in a pond or lake to improve water quality and restore ecological balance.
Phosphorus is a naturally occurring nutrient, but when too much of it enters a pond—often from fertilizers, lawn runoff, animal waste, or decaying organic matter—it can lead to serious problems like:
- Algae Blooms
- Foul Odors
- Low Oxygen Levels
- Fish Kills
- Mucky Sediment Buildup
These issues not only affect the health of aquatic life but can also make your pond unattractive and unpleasant to use or view.
At Edges Aquatic Services, we use eco-friendly, science-backed methods to bind and neutralize excess phosphorus in your pond. This helps restore water clarity, support healthy fish and plant life, and prevent costly damage down the road.

POND LIME DISPERSAL
What is Pond Lime Dispersal—and Why Does Your Pond Need It?
Pond lime dispersal is the application of agricultural lime (calcium carbonate) to your pond to balance pH levels, improve water chemistry, and support a thriving aquatic ecosystem.
Over time, ponds can become too acidic due to factors like acid rain, runoff, and decaying organic matter. Acidic water can:
- Reduce fish growth and reproduction
- Lower beneficial bacterial activity
- Limit natural nutrient cycling
- Hinder the effectiveness of fertilizers or treatments
By raising the pH and adding essential calcium, lime helps create a healthier environment for fish, beneficial microbes, and aquatic plants.
At Edges Aquatic Services, we use professional equipment and safe techniques to evenly distribute the correct amount of lime based on your pond’s size and current pH. The result? Better water quality, healthier fish, and a more balanced pond.

WATER QUALITY TESTING
Why Water Quality Testing Matters for Your Pond
Whether you’re managing a backyard pond, runoff basin, livestock watering hole, or treatment pond, regular water quality testing is essential to keep your system healthy and functioning properly.
Poor water quality can cause serious issues like:
- Algae blooms and weed overgrowth
- Low oxygen levels and fish kills
- Muck and sediment buildup
- Foul odors
- Poor drainage or flow
- Regulatory compliance concerns (for treatment or runoff ponds)
At Edges Aquatic Services, we provide accurate, science-based water testing for a wide range of pond types—including residential, agricultural, and industrial systems. Our tests include:
- pH and alkalinity
- Dissolved oxygen
- Phosphorus and nitrogen levels
- Turbidity (clarity)
- Conductivity and hardness
- Site-specific concerns (e.g., runoff pollutants or sediment load)
With the right data, we can catch problems early, recommend effective treatments, and help restore balance to your pond—saving you time, money, and frustration.
