All of the methods that we use have been thoroughly researched and approved by the EPA and our staff is licensed, highly trained, and insured to use the best product for your pond's imbalance.
Aquatic weeds and algae are naturally occurring parts of a pond ecosystem. The amount of growth is a function of water depth, water clarity, and nutrient levels. Fortunately, there are a variety of management tools that can be used to control unwanted growth. The question that needs to be answered is what level of control is necessary given the purpose of the pond and the expectations of the stakeholders.

Are Weeds Driving You Crazy?
Aquatic weeds and algae can be a major problem in urban water quality ponds, in our area of Soperton, Georgia, and the surrounding areas. Problems associated with weeds and algae include: the causation of stagnant water that is suitable for mosquito breeding, clogging of drain pipes and overflows, interfering with fountain intake screens, and algae and over-grown plants can make for an unsightly view for the neighborhood. Some stakeholders believe that all aquatic plants and algae must be eliminated, however, aquatic plants are beneficial in preventing erosion and they filter excess nutrients from stormwater runoff.
Algae Issues?
The problem with this buildup is, often this relates to nuisance and noxious types of algae. They love phosphorus and they need a lot of phosphorus to grow. Specifically, you will see the abundance of algae that forms mats. Thick mat formers, like pithophora and Ciliophora, also love and use a lot of phosphorus to grow. So, the more phosphorus you have, the more you are likely to have a problem with algae in your system.
Algae, like green algae, may be good for a system, though. They may move up the food chain and may grow those big bass you're looking for. Those algae don't need as much phosphorus. They prefer higher N-to-P ratios. So by removing the phosphorus, we shift that ratio higher and can grow those better types of algae.
