Frequently Asked Questions
There are more long-term solutions to vegetation issues in the form of full lake chemical treatments; these types of treatments are effective on submerged, but not emergent, vegetation or algae. Unfortunately, like cutting grass treating aquatic vegetation must be done periodically throughout the growing season. Click here to learn more about pond vegetation control and management.
