Algae & Water Quality Management across Central Florida
Filamentous algae and pond water quality management for Florida residential and HOA waterways.
Per-visit treatment cost. Aeration installations run $3,500–$12,000 one-time. Buffer plantings $8–$15 per linear foot.
What is algae and why it matters
Algae blooms are the symptom — nutrient loading is the disease. We treat algae blooms with targeted intervention but always pair it with the upstream fix: shoreline buffer plantings, aeration, and runoff source management. Without addressing the nutrient supply, every algae treatment is temporary.
Cyanobacteria blooms are the leading cause of dog deaths near Florida ponds and a growing public health concern. HOA pond aesthetics are also among the top homeowner complaints in master-planned communities.

Why DIY and herbicide-only fail
Florida's warm waters and nutrient-rich runoff create ideal conditions for filamentous algae mats and cyanobacteria blooms. Surface scum kills aesthetics, depletes oxygen, and in cyanobacteria cases produces toxins harmful to dogs and humans. HOA ponds with mowed turf to the water's edge are the worst-case nutrient-loading scenario.
How we handle it
Targeted algaecide on active blooms when needed, mechanical mat removal for filamentous accumulations, then a structural intervention plan: 6 ft native shoreline buffer, aeration if depth allows, and homeowner education on fertilizer setbacks. Recurring water testing tracks nutrient levels.
