“Without strategic and critical partnerships like these, between government agencies and private sector pond and lake management companies, invasive water chestnut can quickly spread throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed and cause ecological and economic harm” - Chris Fish, Aquatic Biologist and Owner of LakeSource LLC. We are grateful and humbled to be chosen by the army corps of engineers as the aquatic specialist for eradicating invasive water chestnut from a large lake in Virginia. link to the article below. https://www.bayjournal.com/news/wildlife_habitat/in-virginia-the-fight-continues-against-invasive-water-chestnut/article_4316a3bd-42a1-4fae-998d-61f0f6fe72c7.html

Only a few short weeks ago, this City Park Pond was nearly 100% covered in invasive weeds and algae. Our team of biologist quickly strategized a solution, and today we effectively installed this aerating fountain in clean healthy water!

Although it doesn’t feel like it, winter is coming! Our team is busy winterizing fountains and aeration systems for our clients. Check out the great before and after shots of cleaning the algae buildup off a pair of units. Winterization is more than just protecting from freeze damage. These units should be cleaned up once a year to prevent biofilm buildup.

Recently, a few members of our team made the trip to @kasco_marine headquarters in Wisconsin to further their training and learn about new products and technology in the aeration system and pond fountain industry! We are always looking for ways to stay at the top of our field, so we can provide the excellent service our customers expect!

Amazing week at the @stewardsofwater laboratory learning all about the newest and greatest technologies to protect and preserve our most precious resource - WATER! 💧. And our team came in first place 🥇 in the competition. More details to come!

Once a year mowing of a pond buffer is a best management practice for discouraging nuisance and invasive plants species, well encouraging desirable vegetation growth.

Our team has been busy monitoring and controlling invasive aquatic weeds in our local water bodies. Thanks to partnerships with both state and federal agencies, we have made great progress in reducing populations of invasive aquatic weeds, which will allow our native species to thrive! #hydrilla #waterchestnut #waterresourcemanagement #lakemanagement #pondmanagement #invasivespecies

Check out these shots from some of our pond management accounts! The first photo is an example of a mature native pond buffer installed by LakeSource. Buffers are a Best Management Practice for ponds as they slow the momentum of stormwater and uptake nutrients all while providing habitat and forage for wildlife and pollinators. The next picture is an example of a brand new stormwater pond that is just being filled. Our team installed native wetland plants that will help stabilize the shoreline and reduce nutrients and algae growth! . . . . . #pondmanagement #lakemanagement #bestmanagementpractices #nativeplants

Detention ponds or “dry ponds” need love too! Our crew knocked this yearly maintenance out of the park for a local community. A best management practice (BMP) is mowing the basin 1x or 2x a year. This allows maximum root and seed structure of the plants, aiding in stormwater pollution cycling and habitat enhancement for local wildlife. All while keeping your stormwater system in compliance with county regulations! If left ignored, tress and invasive plants will quickly invade the system and put your community out of compliance with your county. Find out more about BMPs for your stormwater basins by calling LakeSource! 833.800.LAKE

While often overlooked by pond owners, supplemental feeding is the key to sustaining a healthy bluegill population. What do heathy, big bluegill, equate to? Increased size in your largemouth bass of course! Floating fish food pellets are not the only thing your fish will eat. Think of it as extra protein. Then think of a body builder trying to maximize his/her size and strength without a protein shake! Fall is a critical time of year to make sure your fish have enough to eat, as they are preparing their bodies for winter. Call LakeSource to bring your pond from average to a true trophy fishery!
