Complete Pond & Lake Management Services


Pond Cleaning Services
Regular pond cleaning is essential for maintaining water quality and preventing problems before they start. Our professional cleaning services remove accumulated debris, organic matter, and sediment that can cloud your water and create unhealthy conditions.
What’s Included:
- Surface debris removal (leaves, branches, trash)
- Bottom sediment cleaning
- Filter and equipment maintenance
- Water quality assessment
- Algae and scum removal
- Bank and shoreline cleanup
Best For: Residential ponds, koi ponds, retention ponds, decorative water features
Lake Conroe and Montgomery County homeowners love our seasonal cleaning packages that keep ponds pristine throughout the year. Whether you have a waterfront property on Lake Conroe, a lakefront home in The Woodlands, or an estate pond in Magnolia, we offer flexible scheduling to fit your needs.



Pond Dredging Services
Over time, ponds naturally accumulate silt, sediment, and muck that reduce water depth and quality. Our professional pond dredging services restore your pond’s original capacity and improve overall health.
Signs You Need Dredging:
- Noticeable decrease in water depth
- Thick layer of muck on the bottom
- Foul odors or murky water
- Excessive weed growth
- Difficulty for fish to thrive
- Flooding or poor water retention
Our Dredging Services Include:
- Complete sediment removal
- Pond depth restoration
- Silt and muck extraction
- Proper disposal or beneficial reuse
- Minimal disruption to property
- No need to drain the entire pond
We use specialized equipment designed for Texas clay soils and pond conditions. From lakefront properties on Lake Conroe to estate ponds in The Woodlands and Magnolia, we have the experience and equipment to handle any size project.


Pond Weed & Algae Control
Aquatic weeds and algae are the most common complaints we hear from Houston-area pond owners. Our integrated weed and algae control program combines multiple techniques for effective, long-lasting results.
Common Pond Weeds We Control:
- Cattails
- Water hyacinth
- Duckweed
- Watermeal
- Coontail
- Milfoil
- Elodea
- Hydrilla
Algae Control Services:
- String/filamentous algae removal
- Blue-green algae treatment
- Planktonic algae management
- Algae bloom prevention
Our Approach:
- Identification – We identify the specific species affecting your pond
- Custom Treatment Plan – Targeted solutions for your situation
- Safe Application – EPA-approved products safe for fish and wildlife
- Ongoing Management – Preventative care to stop regrowth
- Natural Solutions – Beneficial bacteria and aeration when appropriate
Whether you’re dealing with a minor algae issue on a Lake Conroe waterfront property or a complete weed takeover in Montgomery County, we provide effective solutions that work with Texas conditions.




Pond Erosion Control & Shoreline Stabilization
Texas weather can be tough on pond shorelines, especially around Lake Conroe and waterfront properties. Heavy rains, flooding, and wave action from our frequent storms can cause significant erosion that threatens your pond’s integrity and surrounding property.
Erosion Problems We Fix:
- Crumbling banks and shorelines
- Soil runoff into pond
- Exposed roots and pipes
- Damaged riprap
- Slope failures
- Property loss around pond edges
Our Erosion Control Solutions:
- Riprap installation and repair
- Native vegetation planting
- Bioengineered living shorelines
- Slope stabilization
- Retaining walls and barriers
- Drainage improvements
Houston’s clay soils and intense rainfall require specialized erosion control techniques. We design solutions that withstand our climate while protecting your investment.

Common Questions We Get
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my pond serviced in Houston?
For most Houston-area ponds, we recommend:
- Monthly Service: Best for ornamental ponds, koi ponds, and high-visibility locations
- Quarterly Service: Good for low-maintenance ponds with proper equipment
- Bi-Annual Service: Minimum for most ponds (spring and fall)
- Annual Service: For very large natural ponds or lakes with established ecosystems
Our hot, humid climate and frequent weather events mean Houston ponds typically need more attention than ponds in cooler climates. Monthly or quarterly service prevents most major problems.
Do you offer emergency pond services?
Yes! We offer same-day emergency service in most Houston-area locations for urgent issues like:
- Pond liner leaks and rapid water loss
- Major algae blooms or fish kills
- Equipment failures (pumps, aerators)
- Storm damage
- Contamination events
Call us as soon as you notice a problem—the faster we respond, the easier (and less expensive) most repairs are.
Emergency Line: (713) 360-9577
Are your treatments safe for fish and wildlife?
Absolutely. We use EPA-registered products that are safe for fish, plants, pets, and people when applied correctly. We’re licensed aquatic applicators in Texas and follow all label requirements and best practices.
Many of our customers have koi, goldfish, bass, and other fish that thrive after our treatments. We also design our services to protect beneficial wildlife like frogs, turtles, and water birds.
If you have specific concerns about fish or wildlife, let us know during the consultation.

We’re based in Magnolia, TX and serve a 100-mile radius from our location. This includes:
- Montgomery County (Magnolia, The Woodlands, Conroe, Montgomery, Willis)
- Harris County (Houston, Katy, Cypress, Spring, Tomball, Humble, Pearland, Pasadena, etc.)

If you’re unsure whether we serve your area, just give us a call! We regularly travel throughout Southeast Texas and the greater Houston region.
How long does pond dredging take?
Most residential pond dredging projects take 1-3 days, depending on:
- Size of the pond (½ acre vs. 2 acres)
- Amount of sediment to remove
- Access to the pond
- Weather conditions
- Type of equipment needed
Larger commercial or agricultural ponds may take longer. We’ll give you a detailed timeline in your estimate.
The good news: most ponds can be dredged without completely draining them, so your fish can usually stay in place during the work.
Can you help with HOA or commercial ponds?
Yes! We work with many HOAs, property management companies, golf courses, and commercial properties throughout Houston. We offer:
- Annual management contracts
- Monthly reporting and documentation
- Compliance with local regulations
- Coordination with property managers
- Flexible scheduling around residents/customers
- Professional communication
We understand the unique needs of community ponds and can work within HOA budgets and requirements.
Do I need to drain my pond for service?
In most cases, no! Our services are designed to work with water in the pond:
- Dredging: We can dredge most ponds without full drainage
- Weed/Algae Control: Applied directly to water
- Repairs: Many repairs possible with minimal water level reduction
- Cleaning: We work with existing water levels
The only time complete drainage is necessary is for certain liner repairs or major reconstruction projects. We’ll discuss this during your consultation if applicable.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept:
- Cash
- Checks
- Credit/Debit Cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Amex)
- Venmo, Zelle
- Financing available for larger projects (subject to credit approval)
Payment is due upon completion of service unless other arrangements are made in advance. We provide detailed invoices for all work.
Do you offer any guarantees?
Yes! We stand behind our work with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you’re not happy with our service, we’ll work with you to make it right.
Specific guarantees vary by service:
- Pond Cleaning: Satisfaction guaranteed or we’ll return to re-service
- Repairs: Warranty on workmanship and parts
- Treatments: We’ll retreat if initial application isn’t effective
- Maintenance Programs: Priority service and discounted rates
Your satisfaction is our priority. If there’s ever a problem, we want to hear about it so we can fix it.
How do I prepare my property for service?
Preparation is minimal for most services:
General Guidelines:
- Ensure we can access the pond (unlock gates, clear path)
- Secure any pets during service
- Mark any underground utilities or irrigation lines if known
- Let us know about any special concerns (fish, plants, structures)
For Dredging or Major Work:
- Clear area around pond of personal items
- Identify where we can dispose of or pile removed material
- Ensure adequate access for equipment
We’ll provide specific instructions when we schedule your service.
Can you help with pond construction or installation?
While our primary focus is on managing and maintaining existing ponds, we can help with certain construction and installation services:
- Pond repair and reconstruction
- Liner installation and repair
- Equipment installation (pumps, filters, aerators, fountains)
- Erosion control and shoreline work
For new pond construction from scratch, we can provide referrals to trusted partners or consult on design considerations for proper pond function and maintenance.
