Trust us to restore the natural harmony of your lake or pond.
Most Common Invasive Plants and Trees on Land
  • Australian Pine: Introduced to Florida in the late 1800s, Australian Pine was widely planted along canals, ditches, lakes, and coastal shorelines to stabilize the soil and reduce erosion, though later recognized to be shallow-rooted and ill-suited to the purpose. Australian pine is listed as a Category I invasive species by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council and as a prohibited aquatic plant and noxious weed by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
  • Brazilian Pepper: Introduced to Florida in the 1840s as an ornamental plant, Brazilian Pepper can form dense infestations that shade out and disrupt native vegetation and produce chemicals to deter other flora and fauna. It spreads very fast and can be difficult to eradicate if not handled properly
  • Melaleuca: Introduced to Florida as an ornamental in 1906, Melaleuca grows extremely fast, producing dense stands that displace native plants, diminish animal habitat, and provide little food for wildlife. It is recognized internationally as a threat to the Florida Everglades.
Most Common Aquatic Species
  • Hydrilla: Introduced to Florida trough the aquarium trade in the 1960’s, Hydrilla was first brought to public and scientific attention in the 1970’s. It is so aggressive, it can create a monoculture where only it can survive.
  • Water Hyacinth: Introduced to Florida in 1890, by the late 1950s, water hyacinth occupied close to 126,000 acres of Florida’s waterways. It grows at an alarmingly fast rate creating large mats. Water hyacinths may degrade water quality and will alter native plant communities.
  • Water Lettuce: First reported in the St. Johns River around 1928, it originated from the Nile River in Africa but has been introduced around the world. Water Lettuce can form thick mats that disrupt aquatic plant and animal communities, as well as interfere with water flow and even boat navigation.

Fish Stocking

Maintaining a balanced ecosystem in your lake or pond is crucial for the overall health of the water column. Our fish stocking services, along with gastropod and beneficial enzyme and bacteria stocking, aim to achieve optimal ecological balance.
