An ever-growing problem in the United States is managing the spread of aquatic plants. Once an exotic species is introduced into a suitable environment, it often times has the ability to rapidly reproduce and dominate the area. Often times native plant species can be so overcome that they may even be completely replaced. This has a severe negative impact on the delicate balance of that ecosystem. However, with early detection this problem can be easily handled and even completely prevented. To help in this battle Pond Squad offers these services:

Aquatic plant management involves much more than gardening along the lakeshore. In order to improve water quality, the lake needs native aquatic plants to filter runoff and also prevent erosion by dissipating the force of wave action on the shoreline. Native aquatic plants also create a stable usable habitat for all of Mother Nature's critters. In many cases, native vegetation may be beneficial. In most cases, native vegetation in moderation is beneficial. By removing these native plants, it will open the door for exotic plants to invade your lakeshore. If native plants are removed, a management effort is required to displace any exotic invaders.
