Excellent Guidance and Recommendations Our Egypt Lake in Tampa Florida consists of 60 surface acres and over 40 lakefront property owners and many other lake users within the subdivision via a civic beach and boat ramp. Our Property Owners Association has been controlling our hydrilla issue with the help of Doug Charles (Lake and Pond Remediation, Inc.) by ‘conservatively’ inserting sterile grass carp, and, as necessary, augmenting with chemical treatment. Both hydrilla controlling techniques/services have been provided by Doug over the last two years with success. His guidance and recommendations have proven excellent.

Within Three Weeks the Hydrilla Was Gone We contracted with Doug in February of 2019 to treat our lake for invasive hydrilla. I found Doug to be highly professional, knowledgeable and timely through the entire process. We had dealt with other companies in the past and had solicited other bids for this current treatment. We found that Lake and Pond Remediation was a third of the other bids we received. We reached out to past customers to gauge their satisfaction and found that they had great results. Our lake is 35 acres in size, treatment began on March 6th and within three weeks the hydrilla was gone. We can now enjoy our lake again without the choking hydrilla. We will be adding grass carp to the lake to augment the treatment in the next few weeks.

Taught me everything I know about lake management Doug Charles has been taking care of our lake, Prairie Lake-Seminole County, for the past 35 years. I first meet Doug when he was contracted with The City of Altamonte Springs. He and Dean Barber, DEP, taught me everything I know about lake management, mainly, that the plants in the lake absorb the nutrients and keep the water clear. Doug has shown a personal interest in our lake where other lake management companies have not been able to always fix our problems. For these reasons I would recommend Doug to take care of your lake management concerns over every other company in central Florida.

I Saw My Lake Bottom for the First Time in 2 Years! Our Lake Hobbs and Little Lake Hobbs are 68 acres and 10 acres. Doug Charles and his employee treated our lakes and in 3 weeks time we saw Great Results of the Hydrilla “disappearing”. I saw my Lake bottom for the first time in almost 2 years! After 6 weeks, our Hydrilla was visibly gone everywhere! We followed up with stocking 144 Sterile Carp to be the continuous Cleanup Police, for any Hydrilla that generates from the tubular Hydrilla Roots, in the lake’s bottom. There was no fish kill, birds kill, animal kill, or any wanted aquatic plants killed, during the spray administration, only the Hydrilla was killed. Now everyone is out swimming, boating, skiing, paddle boarding, and fishing. We are Happy!
