Lake management is a year-round program that controls aquatic weeds and algae, protects the shoreline, keeps fountains and aerators running and handles the permits Michigan requires. It works best as a plan, not a string of emergency fixes. We are a family-owned team...
If you own lakefront or pond property in Waterford, the work that matters most comes down to four things: protect the shoreline buffer, manage algae and weeds before they take over, know which jobs need a state or county permit, and keep a seasonal routine so small...
