Weed and Algae Management
We know weeds and how to eliminate them.
Iowa Pond Restoration will guide you through the process of identifying and eliminating the unwanted weeds and algae in your pond. Their experts will recommend the control products right for you, your pond, and your budget.
Weeds don’t show up over night, they probably won’t disappear over night either. Unwanted weeds in your pond can quickly invade and take control of your pond. Iowa Pond Restoration will prescribe a treatment method that fits your budget, your time frame, and your preferred method of weed control. The treatment method might be a fast chemical control product that quickly eliminates your weed species combined with products to maintain the weed control and develop desired species in the pond or a slower more natural process that eliminates over time. We recommend pond treatment products with chemicals that are safe for you, your pond, and its inhabitants. With time, effort and patience, your weeds are eliminated.
How does Iowa Pond Restoration work on weed control?
It takes time for pond problems to develop and we know it takes time to resolve those same pond problems. Do you want to gamble, then guess, at your problem and apply a chemical? If you win (you have the right chemical in the right amount) then all is ok but what about the times you lose? Even if you get a partial clearing of weeds, you likely have not broken nature’s cycle of weed growth so now you have lost money and time and costed you increased frustration.
THE ANSWER is to first get consultation with our knowledgeable pond expert who can assess the problem and provide the correct solution. This saves you time, money, and frustration. Don, the Pond Doctor, can provide an evaluation of your pond’s ecology, habitat, and the desirable and undesirable pond features. Ultimately, consultation will educate you on the “unknown.” Don will perform tests and use his experience to prescribe an antidote to correct your pond problems. Ultimately, you, the pond owner, and Don, need to understand what is causing the problem(s) which then allows you to attack the problem with a prescribed solution. Many of Don’s customers have controlled weed problems through Don’s consultation and owner do-it-yourself (DIY) maintenance, saving the owner approximately 70% of weed control costs.
