Our licensed aquatic experts offer eco-friendly lake and pond management to improve water quality, control noxious vegetation and algae growth, protect shorelines, and support long-term overall health of the waterbody.

We create custom maintenance plans for homes, HOAs, and commercial properties based on your needs.

Complete Lake & Pond Management Solutions

We offer complete aquatic management to protect, restore, and care for your lake or pond all year.

Aquatic Vegetation Management

Controlling noxious vegetation and algae is key to keeping your waterbody healthy and attractive. Our team determines what plants are present and creates plans to control invasive species while keeping helpful native plants. We only use EPA aquatically approved herbicides, algaecides, beneficial bacteria, and dyes that will not harm fish and wildlife

By inspecting and maintaining your lake or pond on a regular schedule, we prevent overgrowth and keep everything balanced year-round. We can handle all of your lake and pond needs, so contact us first! We provide a number of services to ensure that your lake or pond is managed properly

Aeration Systems

Florida Aquatic Management is your authorized AquaMaster Aeration Systems distributor in Tampa Bay. We handle installation, maintenance, and service for AquaMaster systems. Manufacturer’s warranty comes on all new Aqua Master systems sold by us.

Aqua Master Aeration systems, unlike decorative fountains, add oxygen to the water. This helps improve water quality, supports aquatic life, reduces stagnant areas, and creates a healthier ecosystem.

Lake & Pond Restoration

Over time, lakes and ponds can face problems like invasive plants, too many nutrients, shoreline erosion, and lower water quality.

Our restoration services bring your lake or pond back to a healthier, more balanced state with custom plans that improve both looks and long-term health.

Bank Stabilization & Erosion Control

Shoreline erosion can harm both the appearance and health of a lake or pond. We provide bank stabilization and restoration to protect your shoreline by bringing your waterbody back to the original design specs.

SWFWMD Compliance & Reporting

If your property needs to meet governmental regulations and requirements, we can help. We perform Operations and Maintenance inspections required by the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD), We will gladly complete these services for your property whether or not you participate in one of our regular maintenance programs.

Beneficial Plants and Mitigation Planting

We offer strategic planting services for the overall benefit of your lake or pond. Whether you are required to have beneficial plants per your site plan, or just wanting to introduce a natural method of water filtration, we can help.
Herbicide applications are the most effective tools available. Monthly inspections, with treatments as necessary, will help keep growth to an acceptable level. Some ponds may require multiple treatments during a month, which can be included in the yearly treatment schedule. Florida Aquatic Management uses EPA approved herbicides, algaecides, beneficial bacteria and dyes that will not harm fish and wildlife. Product labels (MSDS sheets) can be provided for review at your request. Our applicators are licensed by the State of Florida, assuring you the highest level of service. We pride ourselves on taking the most environmentally friendly approach possible while meeting our customer’s needs.
Aerator fountains are more appealing to the eye since aeration is achieved by throwing water up into the air and returning droplets into the water, causing a beautiful water display. Diffuser systems are not as eye catching because the aeration is achieved through bubbles created below the water’s surface, so you may see bubbles only on the surface directly above the unit. We are proud to be a distributor of Aqua Master aeration systems, which offer the best products backed by the best warranty in the industry. You can view the catalog by going to our links page and clicking on the logo. We offer the full line of products including programmable lights, custom nozzles and spray patterns. Aqua Master products are a perfect example of the old adage: ”you get what you pay for.”
Plants stabilize the soil, absorb nutrients and provide cover and food for fish and wildlife. You can use planting to improve the quality and appearance of your lake or pond. State and county government agencies frequently require the use of aquatic plants for environmental reasons, often referred to as mitigation. A permit is typically required for mitigation planting. As a courtesy to our existing monthly maintenance customers, we will obtain the proper permit required. We can provide a variety of beneficial species including pickerelweed, arrowhead, water lily and others. We would be glad to design a program to meet your needs.
Stocking fish such as Triploid Grass Carp is a slower approach to controlling weeds and plants (they can eat only so fast). Grass Carp effectively control weeds with tender succulent vegetation such as filamentous algae and duckweed. A permit is required to introduce these fish into a pond or lake. As a courtesy to our existing monthly maintenance customers, we will obtain the proper permit required. We are a licensed and registered fish dealer with the State of Florida.
