Complete Lakefront Services Tailored to Your Property
From clearing heavy vegetation to preventing regrowth and improving general water health, our services are designed to help you enjoy your waterfront again stress-free. Our team of trained specialists handles everything from the water to the haul-away, so you can get back to enjoying your lake.
Scuba Lake Weed Removal
Our signature service. Our certified divers go below the surface to hand-pull lake weeds by the root — the most thorough and environmentally responsible removal method available. Scuba removal targets the root system, slowing regrowth and providing longer-lasting results. Ideal for residential docks, swimming areas, and sensitive shorelines.
Aquatic Mechanical Harvesting
Ideal for larger weed infestations, improving aesthetics, or clearing a boat channel to open water. Our mechanical harvesting equipment efficiently cuts and removes aquatic vegetation at scale. Perfect for lake associations, municipalities, and commercial properties managing high-traffic water areas.
Aquatic Herbicide Treatments
When weeds are persistent or widespread, targeted herbicide treatments offer an effective, long-term management strategy. Our team applies EPA-approved aquatic herbicides with precision, targeting invasive species like milfoil or curly pondweed while minimizing impact on native plants and wildlife. All treatments comply with Minnesota DNR regulations.
Aqua Thruster Installation
Improve water circulation and reduce weed growth near your dock or shoreline with a professionally installed Aqua Thruster. These underwater propeller systems keep water moving, naturally discouraging weed accumulation — a smart, low-maintenance addition to any lakefront property.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the size of the area and the density of the weed growth. A standard residential dock or swimming area can typically be cleared in 4 hours. Larger properties or significant infestations may require multiple visits. We'll give you a realistic timeline when we assess your property. No surprises.
Yes. Our scuba and mechanical removal methods are entirely physical with no chemicals involved, making them safe for fish, wildlife, and native plants. For herbicide treatments, we only use EPA-approved aquatic herbicides applied with precision to target invasive species, and all treatments comply fully with Minnesota DNR regulations.
This varies by lake, weed type, and how aggressive species are spreading on your shoreline. Most homeowners opt for a 4 visit service plan, while others with heavier infestations benefit from a bi-weekly or weekly recurring management plan throughout the season. We'll recommend what makes sense for your specific situation after an initial assessment.
