Algae Control / Pond Colorant

We use copper sulfate on your water surface to reduce the algae growth.  Black dye colorant is added to your lake or pond to shade the water and prevent further algae blooms.  This process is usually done in eight scheduled visits or every three weeks from April through September.  These visits will help keep the algae under control.

Fall Tips

In the fall, you can consider tasks like mulching leaves, planting fall blooming flowers like mums and pansies, or spring flowering bulbs like tulips or daffodils. It’s time to warm up your shrubs and apply mulch to delicate plants like roses to help protect them from the cold of winter. It’s also a great time to aerate and overseed your lawn to keep it at its healthiest and don’t forget to clean out your gutters!
