Lake and Pond Aeration 

Our lake and pond management services promote healthy aquatic ecosystems with the use of microporous airstone manifolds placed on the bottom of lakes and ponds with water depth of 6 feet or greater.  In water depths less than 6 feet, aeration is provided b the use of floating fountains. Both systems promote healthy fish communities and improve water quality by adding more dissolved oxygen.

Hemlock and Woolly Adelgids (HWA) The woolly adelgids are tiny insects that are dispersed by the wind. The aphid -like critters literally sucks the sap (nutrients) out of the needles of the hemlock trees. In approximately three to five years the trees die if not treated.

We are certified specialists in the treatment of hemlocks, and have recently attended local conferences and workshops concerning the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA). This pest can be identified by the white cottony secretions on the branches of hemlock trees.  The safest and most economical treatment is annual inspection, and if necessary, tree and/or soil injection to eliminate the pest and prevent reproduction and spreading.
