We pull invasive hydrilla out by hand — rake, razor, and patience — so your waterfront stays swimmable, your prop stays clear, and your view stays a view.

It's an invasive submerged weed that grows fast, tangles props, and turns clear swim areas into a green mat by midsummer. Left alone, it only gets worse.
Hydrilla mats form thickest in the shallow, still water right under docks and boat lifts — exactly where people swim.
Thick growth wraps around lower units and clogs water intakes, turning a short trip into a dockside untangling job.
A green, tangled shoreline reads very differently than open water — whether you're using the place or selling it.
Hydrilla regrows from fragments, so machine-cutting can spread it. We remove it by hand at the root instead — slower, but it actually works, and it's safe for the water your family and pets swim in.
Long-handled rakes lift hydrilla mats from the surface and shallows without disturbing the lakebed more than necessary.
Where it's rooted deep or tangled in a lift, we go down with a blade and cut it out at the base, not just skim the top.
Every bit we pull comes off your property. Leaving cut hydrilla floating just reseeds the next patch.
Most jobs are a single visit for a dock or boat slip, done in a morning. Larger shoreline stretches or recurring seasonal maintenance are scheduled ahead of the summer growth season.
Not sure if your cove is on the list? Give us a call — we'll tell you straight whether it's a fit.
People on every job — the same two people you talked to on the phone.
Chemicals or herbicides used. Ever. Hand removal only.
Visit is usually all a dock or lift needs to be clear again.
Most jobs start early, before the lake gets busy — in and out.
A quick call is usually enough for us to give you a straight price. No obligation, no upsell.
