Lake Masters’ pond management services, including vegetation and lily pad removal, are all you need to keep your Central Florida and Treasure Coast area ponds healthy and algae-free. This typically includes managing buffer areas around your pond to help reduce sediment and nutrient runoff, which can lead to excessive algae growth.
When unsightly algae or aquatic weeds invade your pond, restoring the water’s health can be challenging without the assistance of a marine professional with experience in microbiology. So first, we identify the type of algae or weed to avoid further damage to customize the best approach to restoring its health so that aquatic life can survive and thrive.
Our team of experts will determine the best course of action. Physical removal is one approach, but removing all algae or weeds is often not practical or possible. Therefore, we may also recommend chemical or biological control to reduce weeds and algae growth in a pond.
If you are a property owner or municipality responsible for pond management and maintenance in Daytona Beach, DeLand, Deltona, Melbourne or Orlando, contact Lake Masters today.
There are several common problems that a pond in Ocala, Daytona Beach, and along the Treasure Coast often experiences, such as invasive weeds, algae, and cyanobacteria. They can make the water unsafe for humans, aquatic life, and wildlife.
Although not all pond problems are toxic, we advise keeping people and pets away from the water until our professional pond management team completes an analysis. Our expansive service area includes Altamonte Springs, Cocoa, Orlando, Titusville, and communities throughout Central Florida and the Treasure Coast.
Invasive weeds are plants that spread rapidly, causing harm to the environment, economy, or human health. Common aquatic weeds include duckweed, water lilies, and cattails. These plants can outcompete native plants, leading to a decline in native plant populations. Invasive weeds can also change the structure of ecosystems, alter soil composition, and increase the risk of wildfires.
There are several common types of algae, including green algae, blue-green algae, and diatoms. Excess nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, are typically the sources responsible for algae growth in ponds. They usually enter the pond through runoff from nearby farmland, neighborhood homes, and businesses using lawn fertilizers or animal waste. When these nutrients enter a pond, they can cause algae to grow out of control, significantly decreasing water quality, increasing health hazards, and harming surrounding wildlife.
Cyanobacteria are a type of bacteria known for their blue-green color. These bacteria are found in various environments, from freshwater to marine ecosystems. Cyanobacteria are essential for the environment because they produce oxygen gas through photosynthesis. However, some cyanobacteria can produce harmful toxins that can cause disease in humans and animals.
