Aquatic Pond and Lake Spraying Maintenance in Seattle, WA
Our Seattle pond weed clearing and removal team takes care of your water, allowing you peace of mind knowing that it is being professionally managed. During this service, our specialists can visually inspect your water and provide environmentally responsible solutions for several problems.
Seattle Pond and Lake Weed Clearing
There are multiple ways to remove aquatic weeds. The best methods involve mechanical tools, such as a rake and weed knife, and pond weed spraying using eco-friendly chemicals.
Our Seattle lake weed spraying experts are trained to identify and safely remove plants that negatively impact your lake or pond. We look for three categories of weeds: submerged, floating, and emergent.
1. Submerged Weeds & Plants
Submerged weeds or plants grow mostly under the water’s surface. Sometimes, their tops appear above the water. These plants are most problematic for boating, fishing, and aquatic life because they grow in thick patches and quickly take over the body of water where they are found.
Common submerged plants our lake weed cleaning and spraying company removes include:
Fanwort
Curly Leaf Pondweed
Hydrilla
Starry Stonewart
Mudmat
Submerged weeds and plants aren’t the only problems our team will tackle in your pond cleaning in Seattle.
2. Floating Plants
Floating plants are another issue we address. These have most of their body visible on top of the water. Although they have roots, they may not be established in the bottom sediment. These plants spread quickly over the surface and can drift into surrounding waterways. Floating plants include Water Lettuce, Water Chestnut, and Giant Salvinia.
3. Emergent Plants
The final type of plant our lake weed spraying service in Seattle removes is emergent plants. These are rooted in shallow water but stand upright with many leaves and bodies above the surface.
Emergent plants dominate the shoreline and can destroy thousands of acres of shallow wetlands. Some emergent plants are Water Primrose, Torpedograss, and Smartweed.
By making the best choice for your pond or lake and hiring a professional team for aquatic plant management in Seattle, you can restore the breathtaking view your property has.
Contact Northwest Lake Cleaning at 425-504-7047, and we’ll help you either with one of our service packages or a custom plan, tailored to your specifications.
Pond and Lake Algae Removal in Seattle
Over 30,000 types of algae can impact bodies of water. Algae goes unnoticed until it affects water quality, aesthetics, and ecological balance. Northwest Lake Cleaning is an algae removal company in Seattle that manages irritating algae to restore the beauty of your water.
Lakes and ponds often have three types of algae: Filamentous, Plankton, and macro-algae. These organisms have no roots and can appear in many shapes and colors.
1. Filamentous Algae
Filamentous algae appear in long, stringy, and slimy patches. These bright patches are typically green but can also be brown or yellow. Smaller Seattle ponds and lakes can easily become overwhelmed with filamentous algae.
Without the help of a reliable lake water treatment company, algae can destroy your aquatic system.
2. Planktonic Algae
Planktonic algae appear in several colors, including green, blue, red, and golden tones. Unlike weeds, planktonic algae cannot be plucked from the water. High winds cause it to move across the pond or lake and accumulate in a corner or the shoreline.
Too much planktonic algae creates a lack of oxygen in the area, killing the fish and other life forms.
3. Macro-Algae
They resemble other aquatic plants, including growing and rooting into the sediment. However, macro-algae do not have true roots. Regular maintenance, according to the size of the water body and existing plant life, will ensure a healthy balance and control of algae in your pond or lake.
Partner with an expert company for pond clearing in Seattle to help keep algae under control.

Aquatic Plant Management and Maintenance
Bodies of water require routine maintenance to control fast-growing invasive vegetation. Our licensed applicators can be on-site regularly to maintain them. We can inspect the pond or lake and complete safe and effective treatments. Chemical use is tailored to your water use and needs.
1. Aquatic Vegetation
Aquatic vegetation removal is about more than keeping invasive plants from overgrowing. It also involves restoring the ecosystem. Healthy ponds and lakes have clean water, aquatic plant life, and diverse species.
Northwest Lake Cleaning's services promote native plant life while controlling unpleasant weeds. We offer green solutions that won’t disrupt the beauty or use of your waterfront.
2. Aquatic Vascular Plants
Vascular plants are crucial for balance within an aquatic ecosystem. These plants offer fish and birds protection from predators and enhance their feeding options. Our lake cleaning services do not disrupt their environment, ensuring other native species have adequate oxygen, protection, and food.
3. Pond Aquatic Weed Removal in Seattle
Mechanical removal is one of the most effective methods for pond clearing. Seattle-based teams like ours can use cutters to shear the top of the plant and carefully dispose of the debris. However, we may also need to use chemicals to facilitate the removal of certain plants.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approves our products because we’re committed to protecting fish and wildlife that use these lakes and ponds. Removing invasive plants requires knowledge of chemical use, so it’s a job best left to a seasoned lake cleaning and spraying company in Seattle.
Seattle Stormwater & Retention Pond Cleaning
Many residential and commercial properties use retention ponds as a stormwater management tactic. These ponds reduce flooding concerns by holding excess water after a heavy storm.
Northwest Lake Cleaning offers stormwater retention cleaning services designed to keep your retention pond pristine. Our experts provide a vegetation removal service that stops your pipes from becoming clogged or blocked. Stormwater retention pond weed removal is crucial for keeping your water from becoming a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
Contact our team at 425-504-7047 to get started with a free pond assessment. Northwest Lake Cleaning offers vegetation removal in Seattle to maintain your stormwater retention pond.
Cattail Removal & Disposal in Seattle, Washington
Under the right circumstances, cattails are a beautiful addition to your water. However, like many aquatic weeds, they can quickly become a nuisance that makes your lake or pond unattractive. Cattail spraying in Seattle is the most effective way to kill and then remove these plants. However, you must apply the herbicide correctly for it to be effective.
Experts from Northwest Lake Cleaning begin by assessing cattail location and growth. Once we understand the depth of the problem, we’ll apply selective herbicides to start removing the nuisance, including the roots. We understand the dynamics of water ecosystems and work to balance your water’s health and beauty.
Seattle cattail pond clearing may require a second application for the best results. You’ll know it works when the leaves and stems begin turning brown. Once the cattails have been killed, our team must remove them. Otherwise, leftover plant matter begins to decay, producing foul odors, disrupting the view, and fueling additional cattail growth.
Cutting and removing cattails in Seattle can be messy and time-consuming. Our specialists are trained to remove the debris, haul it away and properly dispose of it. You can trust our dependable, efficient technicians to provide cost-effective wetland cattail removal and spraying solutions.
