LAKE AND POND MAINTENANCE

AQUATIC WEED CONTROL

Herbicide applications via spray system utilizing a utility vehicle and/or boat.

Steadfast Environmental specializes in best management practices by identifying invasive and exotic plant species within your Lakes, Ponds and Conservation areas. Applicators are licensed through the Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services to ensure proper herbicide application rates as well as waterway approved products.

Not all aquatic vegetation is bad! Interestingly enough, there are a wide variety of native, beneficial species that we encourage to promote and propagate around your waterway. These flowering plant species include Arrowhead, Duck Potato, Pickerelweed and several species of Canna. Other common Florida native species include Bulrush & Club rush which can be found along shorelines and littoral zones. Aside from enhancing aesthetic beauty, these plants can aid in bank stabilization and erosion control.

TRIPLOID GRASS CARP STOCKING

Call today to learn how Steadfast Environmental can use biological control for pesky submersed vegetation including Hydrilla & Slender Spikerush. Triploid grass carp are genetically sterile meaning they do not have the ability to reproduce. Typically their life span ranges from 3-5 years. This is an excellent method of natural submersed vegetation control.

DRAINAGE DITCH MOWING

Do you get frustrated with quarterly county maintenance on your drainage ditches and swales? In between maintenance events these areas can grow tall and unsightly, often times they are holding water and can be too soft for equipment or hand removal. Additionally, buildup of vegetation can cause improper drainage function potentially leading to flooding issues. Our boom mower attachment can access these hard to reach areas while leaving little footprint behind. Have Steadfast Environmental service your home front or community drainage swales on a monthly basis for increased property value and peace of mind.
