Aquatic Weed Control is an owner-operated company which has provided lake and pond management services since 1983. Our work is accomplished by experienced personnel who are professionally licensed and insured.

We believe the key to our longevity has been providing prompt, reliable, quality service at a fair price. When you dial our number, you speak directly to the owner. This helps us provide the most efficient, effective service possible.
