Most lakes in Southern Minnesota are also on
the impaired waters list.
Aquatic herbicide treatments can
A:
Improve the value of your properties
B:
Improve native aquatic vegetation.
C:
Improve enjoyment of water recreation
Aquatic vegetation is an extremely important
component of most freshwater systems,
providing habitat, refuge, and food for a wide
variety of organisms including fish,
invertebrates, and waterfowl. It is well
documented that aquatic vascular plants serve
as habitat for numerous invertebrate species.
Lake Volney, Minnesota
There are many instances where excessive
aquatic vegetation growth can detrimentally
affect fishery and wildlife resources, or limit
access for fishing, hunting, and other
recreational activities.

Near shore and cabin program
The easiest way to have your shore weeds
controlled for the season, is have me take care
of it for you. This is my Near Shore Program It
will provide the highest level of weed control
around your dock and beach. For most lots
this area is 50ft X 150ft. This program is not
eligible for the DNR grant.
This is the program I recommend for
customers if their goal is recreational use
around your shore. Please let me know if you
have any questions.
What does it cost for the season?
This can vary for several different reasons. Like water depth, weeds present, and if you have a much larger or
smaller lot. Just give me a call I can
give you all this information even over
the phone or email typically.

treatments. These are typically done along with
DNR funds, Local Lakes Associations, resorts,

What can Aquatic herbicides do for you?
An overabundance of aquatic vegetation is
typically the result of introduction of exotic
species which out-compete native plants and
grow unchecked by natural herbivores or
parasites. For example, two of Minnesota’s
most problematic aquatic plant species,
Eurasian water milfoil and curly leaf pondweed,
are not native to Minnesota.
Clear lake
Minnesota’s natural lands and water resources
require special attention to keep them in their
naturally functioning ecosystem
condition. Some of these functions are to store
floodwaters, improve water quality, maintain
water flow during dry seasons and provide
food, nesting and protection for fish and
wildlife.
Lakescapes works in partnership with local,
state and national governmental agencies to
help any customer with any regulatory codes or
changes that may be issued.
