Professional Aquatic Weed & Algae Control Services

PLM specializes in aquatic invasive plant control and lake and pond algae management using science-based, environmentally responsible methods. Our team identifies the specific plant or algae species causing issues and selects control strategies that are effective, selective, and compliant with state and local regulations.
Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, PLM focuses on controlling nuisance and invasive species, such as Eurasian watermilfoil, curlyleaf pondweed, and filamentous algae—while preserving beneficial native vegetation. Our goal is not just short-term relief, but long-term control that reduces regrowth, improves water quality, and supports recreation, fisheries, and property values.

Our invasive Plant & Algae Control Process

1. Site Evaluation

We begin with an on-site evaluation to identify invasive aquatic plants or algae issues, assess severity, and understand how the waterbody is used.

2. Species Identification & Assessment

PLM accurately identifies nuisance plant and algae species and evaluates their distribution, density, and growth patterns throughout the lake or pond.

3. Customized Control Strategy

Using an integrated management approach, we develop a targeted weed control or algae control plan that may include herbicide applications, mechanical methods, or other approved techniques.

4. Permitted Application & Implementation

Our licensed professionals apply treatments at the proper timing and rates to maximize effectiveness while minimizing impacts to non-target species and water use.

5. Monitoring & Follow-Up

After treatment, we monitor results and make adjustments as needed to improve long-term invasive plant and algae control and prevent future outbreaks.
