Water Quality Testing
Do you have cloudy water? A fish kill? Green water? We can collect water samples and analyze them for various tests to help indicate what is going on in your pond.
Bottom Aeration
Adding bottom Aeration to your pond is one of the biggest bangs for your buck way to improve water quality in your pond; not only does it add oxygen to the water to promote beneficial bacteria growth, but it also lifts and circulates water throughout the water column, which brings cool bottom water up to the surface, discouraging algae blooms.
Decorative Fountains
Add the WOW factor to your pond with a decorative floating fountain. Decorative fountains add visual beauty and the sound of running water to your pond. They float on the surface of your pond and pump water into the air in decorative patterns.
Aquatic Vegetation Control
Do you have nuisance vegetation in your pond? Whether it is invasive species, blocked stormwater drains, blocked navigational paths, or a municipality or state agency requirement, we have a variety of methods to help, including manual, mechanical, and chemical removal.
Aquatic Plantings
Adding aquatic plants to your pond shoreline offers a host of benefits, including stabilizing the shoreline to reduce erosion, adding habitat and food for wildlife, and acting as a filter for stormwater that is entering your pond.
Fisheries Management
With extensive expertise in aquatic ecosystems, we provide comprehensive assessments for ponds and lakes. Our services include evaluating habitat availability, analyzing fish and forage populations, removing invasive species, and offering expert stocking recommendations. As leading landscape contractors Melbourne, we support sustainable water management solutions across Brevard County and Indian River County, Florida.
Constructed Wetland Filtration
Wetland filtration is the ultimate upgrade for your pond. It adds a pumping system that pushes your pond water through a massive, constructed wetland. That wetland will act as a settling chamber and accelerate the nitrogen cycle within your pond to help clear the water.
Dredging
Over time, muck and debris naturally build up on the bottom of your pond. In some cases, this is accelerated by poor design or upland construction. If the buildup is severe, it will damage the pond's water quality by adding excess nutrients and suspended sediment. The most effective way to remove this buildup and give your pond a fresh start is to dredge the sediment and organic material out.
