Allegheny Pond & Lake Management
Algae and Plant Control
Algal blooms are not only unsightly, but they can also be toxic and produce unpleasant odors. These toxins can be harmful to not just fish, but our pets as well.
Plant growth is a natural part of a lake ecosystem. However, uncontrolled and excessive growth can outcompete native flora, and can interfere with recreational activities like boating, fishing and swimming.
To help control both algae and excessive plant growth before they become problematic, nutrient mitigation acts as an inhibitor for the uptake of the required nutrients for excessive growth.
Fountains and Aeration
Not only do fountains provide a wonderful aesthetic, but they offer ecological benefits as well. From mosquito control to water oxygenation, fountains can be a wonderful addition to any pond or lake.
For those who want a more natural appearance for their pond, diffused aerators provide superior oxygenation. These aerators are best suited for deeper bodies of water, as they also keep overall temperatures cooler while preventing stratification in the water column.
Purple Martin Houses
Purple Martins are one of natures most prolific insectivores and are common around ponds and lakes. They are also heavily dependent on their relationship with humans for survival. Purple Martin houses provide these birds with a cavities in which to start a colony. Once established, Martins will return to the same nesting box year after year!
