Washington Stormwater & Retention Pond Cleaning
If not cared for, retention ponds and stormwater drains can become stagnant, allowing bacteria to grow that can damage the surrounding land and topple the ecosystem that depends on that water.
Cattail Removal in Washington: Tackling This Invasive Weed
Cattails flourish in slow-flowing water, including ponds and marshes. They tend to over take the pond, lake or retention pond multiplying and expanding each year unless chemical and manual removal is implemented.
Large groups of cattails can lead to silting and drainage problems. To manage cattails, we offer spraying and removal services that help eliminate them without harming other plants or wildlife.
Cattails are invasive weeds in Washington and can negatively affect lakes, ponds and stormwater eco-systems. These cattails can affect and crowd out certain wildlife like frogs and fish because they are so aggressive.
Our experienced team can efficiently perform cattail removal at your Washington property while also performing a thorough assessment of the water itself to see how to bring a better balance to it.
In addition, we can offer a management service to routinely remove cattails and other vegetation, keeping your property looking its best.

Washington Vegetation Removal: Clearing & Hauling Away
Some types of vegetation can quickly start growing out of control in stormwater drains, retention ponds and lakes in Washington. For example, overgrowth of weeds and blackberry bushes are a concern in stormwater and retention ponds because of how they can impede the free flow of water while also pushing out other plants.
We remove the unwanted trees and bushes in these ponds and lakes, not allowing them to become fertilizer for future growth. Throughout all of our efforts to remove unwanted vegetation, we can utilize biological controls and sprays that won’t harm the rest of the area.
If we need to clear vegetation, especially weeds, our team will carefully ] trim, cut, and uproot vegetation from the stormwater retention pond, lake, including perimeter. We’ll haul all of the weeds and debris away as part of the service.
If your Washington property requires stormwater, retention pond or lake cleaning, including vegetation removal, count on the experienced team at Northwest Lake Cleaning to complete the job and with professionalism through the whole process.

Wetland Management: Helping to Maintain Biodiversity
If left unmanaged, invasive wetland weed species can take over native ecosystems in the state of Washington. This creates an imbalance that affects the life in the water as well as throughout the rest of the wetland property. We help to manage, maintain and remove marsh, upland, and aquatic invasive weed species, including:
Purple loosestrife
Phragmites
Japanese knotweed
Flowering rush
In some instances, we may have to establish beneficial plant life, especially if there’s a need for stabilizing the bank edges. We use sustainable solutions to help keep the wetlands balanced and thriving.
For customized pond and lake cleaning, clearing and spraying solutions in Washington, look to Northwest Lake Cleaning. We offer one time services as well as maintenance subscriptions.

When you turn to us at Northwest Lake Cleaning of Washington, we provide special treatment services to test and determine the water quality. Based on our assessment, we will provide services to stabilize the water conditions.
Water quality treatment for ponds, lakes and small bodies of water in Washington state is a vital part of maintaining a healthy ecosystem. This ongoing service is included in our subscription services.

Aquatic Pond & Lake Spraying and Maintenance in Washington State
Northwest Lake Cleaning offers services for removing weeds, algae, and invasive aquatic weeds throughout the state of Washington.
Clearing Aquatic Weeds in Washington Ponds and Lakes
Three main types of weeds can affect ponds and lakes:
Submerged weeds
Floating weeds
Emergent weeds
Submerged weeds are rooted plants with limp stems. The majority of their vegetation is below the water’s surface, though you may see small portions above the water. Examples include water primrose, hornwort, and water milfoil.
Floating weeds are weeds that gather the nutrients they need from the water without needing to be attached to the soil. The most common are duckweed and watermeal.
If floating weeds have roots that attach to the soil, they’re actually emergent weeds. Emergent weeds are often rooted along the shoreline and have stems or other types of mass protruding over the water’s surface. Cattails are a prime example.
For any or all of these various aquatic weed removal projects, look to Northwest Lake Cleaning for not only the initial service but also consider our maintenance subscription options so that your property can stay ideal throughout the year.

Removing Algae in Ponds and Lakes of Washington
Algae can be harmful to animals and can tilt an ecosystem out of balance if it gets out of control. We remove three main types of pond and lake algae in Washington. These are:
Filamentous
Planktonic
Macro-algae
Filamentous algae are colonies of microscopic plants that join together to form mesh-like filaments, hence their name. They tend to grow on hard objects under the water, but they can also break loose and form floating mats.
Planktonic algae are also microscopic plants. They’re single-celled and can make the water look green, reddish, or brown.
Conversely, macroalgae are large aquatic plants. Most people know them as seaweed, though there are many species that can grow in freshwater, as well.
By using biological controls, we can improve water quality while also removing the primary algae growth. This then stops the accumulation of excessive nutrients and prevents blooms of algae in the future.
For more details about our pond and lake algae removal service in Washington, contact our company today by calling 425-504-7047.
Removing Invasive Aquatic Weeds
We provide services that can help with the removal of invasive aquatic weeds threatening a pond or lake ecosystem.
At Northwest Lake Cleaning, we offer aquatic plant management and maintenance services, helping to identify the species of plants in the body of water. Our maintenance services can involve harvesting, the use of biological control agents, and more. Many of the services we provide are done via spraying.
Aquatic vegetation plays a crucial role in the health of water bodies, so we work to remove invasive weeds that can crowd out native Washington species. This includes aquatic vascular plants.
When necessary, we offer aquatic harvesting, clearing and removal of vegetation. We provide manual harvesting that involves cutting and removing the plants by hand and in some cases also by boat.
If you manage, own or oversee a Washington property with invasive or aquatic weeds that need to be removed, contact our lake and pond cleaning company for a free consultation at 425-504-7047.
