By-The-Root Removal of Submerged Weeds

A highly effective method of control that involves removing all weeds by their roots, providing the following benefits:

• Immediately Weed Free Area
• Long Lasting Results
• Highly Selective
• No Weeds left to decompose (no muck build up)
• No Restrictions on Swimming, Irrigation, or Fishing
• No Health Risks

The Process

A team of SCUBA certified technicians thoroughly sweeps each custom defined area to remove the stalks and root systems of all nuisance weed species. With this method, the weeds cannot grow back as easily as with cutting or chemical treatments*. Weeds are collected and disposed of upon completion of the job, and you will enjoy a pristine waterfront area that is available for any recreational use. As a chemical-free service, you can be confident there are no health risks to you, your family, or your lake’s ecosystem.

DANGEROUS OBJECT CLEANUP (only available in areas free of weeds)

This process helps to minimize the number of sharp, dangerous objects in a defined swimming area. The team of divers thoroughly searches the lake bottom and removes any discovered bottles, glass, cans, sticks, etc. All common objects are disposed-of off-site. Disposal of toxic/hazardous or unusually large or heavy objects are subject to extra disposal charges. Work is performed after completion of by-the-root removal. Only available in areas free of weeds.

CLEAN-UP OF FLOATING WEEDS

Milfoil and other weed fragments that float into shore will eventually germinate and reinfest your swimming area. To prevent reinfestation, it is important to ensure that the majority of these fragments are regularly cleaned up. If you are unable to do this yourself, you may wish to consider this service. Floating weeds are removed from the water using rakes and nets. Weeds are disposed of off-site, or at an area on the lake property per your request. This cleanup service is available with a weekly service agreement, or on-call with 5 days notice.
