Aquatic Management

Aquatic Management  is a complex discipline that blends the predictable sciences of water chemistry and hydrology with the highly variable parameters of biology and meteorology for application in venues with boundaries defined by human values and economics. (schart & nederland)

Southeastern, has an exclusive management cooperation with Estate Management Services. We coordinate and plan a tailored pond management plan with you.  Then Estate Management Services shows up to your pond on a monthly basis. We offer this service for small and large scale commercial aquatic management needs.

ALGAE CONTROL — WHAT ARE ALGAE?

This is almost a year round problem. Consequently it costs less to maintain a body of water on a monthly basis, compared to retroactively managing an aquatic problem if it were to happen.

UNDERWATER AND FLOATING VEGETATION CONTROL

Southeastern routinely inspects ponds to ensure they look great. It is important to be proactive within this category. Some underwater/ floating vegetation is good for the health of your pond. But there are some really invasive species that can take-over if given the opportunity.

TRASH AND DEBRIS REMOVAL

We will do whatever we can while we are at your pond to make sure it is kept clean of debris and trash. Once we leave, it will be roughly 30 days before we return. It is strongly encouraged to our clients to inform us know if anything does make it into the ponds so we can schedule a visit and remove the new debris.

BASELINE WATER CHEMISTRY TESTING

Not only do we test the water quality annually to determine its health, but we recommend the best steps to take for the sustained quality of your pond.
