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.

We Had the Right Guy to Manage Our Lake Our lake, Little Lake Howell (a.k.a. Lake Tuskawilla) is in the beginning stage of our 4th episode (in 35+ years) of hydrilla infestation. Our lake association is a very pro-active one, and we have worked closely with the Seminole County Water Management crew as we treated the lake for various invasives, and also as we replanted on Lake Revegetation Days, and are part of the county’s lake evaluations as well as participants in Lakewatch. We guard our lake quality carefully and thoroughly. When this hydrilla appeared, we called several companies to come and evaluate. Doug was immediately responsive and came out ready to do a look at the lake. He got us quotes and presented us with a plan quickly, and we were able to present that at our lake meeting. He did this with only 2 days to prepare. His kind demeanor and his vast knowledge let us know we had the right guy to manage our lake. Doug is currently treating our lake for hydrilla and also recently stocked us with Sterile Grass Carp, again, when he promised the fish, he delivered exactly when he said he would. They were the healthiest grass carp we’ve ever received.

Thank you Doug and Kimberly! Thank you Doug and Kimberly! Y'all exceeded our expectations. You delivered the fish sooner than we were hoping and they were large and frisky. We will try to collect funds for a second stocking in the near future. Stay in touch.

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.

Most Thorough and Best Reports As I have said before, of the pond maintenance companies I have worked with – you guys are the most thorough, and give the best reports.
